What makes this book interesting? First, Julia Bond's illustration style. I enjoyed her impressionistic 'just enough' drawings handle the human figures. She spends more effort on creating a scene, a composition. Transparent watercolors help her control the way my eyes move by keeping the darker area...
Nicely done with juxtaposition of factual information with rhyming text. Wish a bit more had been said about the role of slaves in the construction.
