Sterling Biographies: Cleopatra by Susan Blackaby

Sterling Biographies: Cleopatra by Susan Blackaby

Helps children to find out about the Ptolemy Dynasty into which Cleopatra, one of history's fascinating figures, is born, its traditions and infighting; how she ascended to and maintained her place on, the throne; and, her relationships with Caesar and Mark Antony and the political repercussions of these affairs within the Roman Empire and Egypt.

Susan Blackaby's first picture book, Rembrandt's Hat (Houghton Mifflin) was praised by Publishers Weekly as a satisfyingly spontaneous and quirky tale . . . simply 'fedorable.' Susan is also the author of Sterling Biographies(R) Cleopatra--which leaves readers fascinated and eager to learn more (School Library Journal)-and a poetry collection, Nest, Nook, and Cranny (Charlesbridge Publishing). Susan lives in Portland, OR.

Carmen Segovia is an award-winning illustrator who lives in Barcelona, Spain. One winter, she chose to sketch a little groundhog that wakes before spring and passes the time by sliding down a snowy hill, and building a snow friend. The paintings were selected for the Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition where Carmen's American editor became determined to create a book starring the groundhog. Carmen's first picture book in the US was China Doll (Sterling) by Elza Pilgrim.
