Celebrate Independence Day by enjoying and sharing books written and illustrated by Wendell Minor. Nationally recognized for his Americana style, Wendell Minor’s books bring history to life for readers of all ages. Begin with “Yankee Doodle America: The Spirit of 1776 From A To Z”, an alphabet book of colonial times which includes illustrations of the X regiment, Yorktown, and Elizabeth Zane.Then try biography, “Henry Knox: Bookseller, Soldier, Patriot” to learn about the perseverance and courage of a young soldier in George Washington’s Continental army. There are many more titles to choose from the St. Louis County Library collection, including “Sitting Bull Remembers”, “Abe Lincoln Remembers”, “The Last Train” and “The Buffalo Are Back”. Each will transport you to a different time and place through the engaging and realistic art of Wendell Minor.
