Oversized: 9" x 12"

A fully illustrated, over-sized children's book about the life and times of Walt Whitman.

This beautifully made work is a Robert F. Sibert Honor Book as well as a New York Times bestseller. Caldecott-winning illustrator, Brian Selznick, sets his well-crafted and remarkably accurate color drawings of the American bard to this intelligent biography that presents Whitman's work as a printer, journalist, and aid during the Civil War in a fluid prose grounded in historic documents from the poet's past.

The cut-out cover opens up to a re-drawing of Whitman's famous frontispiece and then onto the story of his life—so much of which is caught up in his great epic, Leaves of Grass.

The School Library Journal recommends this book for students grade four and up, describing it as:

An exuberant picture-book biography that focuses on Whitman's formative years and his selfless work as a Civil War nurse. Delightfully old-fashioned in design, its oversized pages are replete with graceful illustrations and snippets of poetry.

Illustrated by Brian Selznick
