Coming Home by Cooper
Young Langston Hughes was a dreamer. He dreamed about heroes like Booker T. Washington, who was black just like him. When he heard the clackety-clack of train wheels, he dreamed about the places it had been. But most of all, he dreamed about having a happy home. And so, one day, he began turning those dreams into beautiful prose. As he did, he discovered where his home really was--in the words and rhythms of his poetry that reached people all over the world. The beloved Langston Hughes comes to life in a book for poets, dreamers, children, and adults--anyone who has ever thought of what home means to them. Teachers looking for a good way to introduce youngsters to this prominent poet will find this book to be an excellent accompaniment to his work. --School Library Journal Like Hughes' poetry, the power of Cooper's story is that it confronts sadness even as it transcends it. --Booklist His text is as inviting as his illustrations. --The New York Times Book ReviewFloyd Cooper is the illustrator of many children's books, including Ruth and the Green Book, A Spy Named James, and Unspeakable, and has won the Coretta Scott King Prize. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a bachelor's degree in fine arts and now resides in Easton, Pennsylvania with his wife and two sons.
