Pinkney, Gloria J. (1992). Back Home. (1st. ed.) Dial Books. New York, NY.
This book written by Gloria Jean Pinkney was illustrated by husband, Jerry Pinkney. Jerry's illustrations are remarkable. Each page is an artwork in itself. His use of watercolors and other media brings his books to life. As I read through the pages of this book, I found myself looking in detail at each illustration. Being an artist and teacher, illustrations are as just important as the words of the story.
