Feed Your Mind is a picture book celebration of August Wilsons journey from a child in Pittsburgh to one of Americas greatest playwrights, from Caldecott Honorwinning author Jen Bryant and illustrator Cannaday Chapman.August Wilson (19452005) was a twotime Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright who had a particular talent for capturing the authentic, everyday voice of Black Americans. As a child, he read off soup cans and cereal boxes, and when his mother brought him to the library, his whole world opened up. After facing intense prejudice at school from both students and some teachers, August dropped out. However, he continued reading and educating himself independently. He felt that if he could read about it, then he could teach himself anything and accomplish anything.Like many of his plays, Feed Your Mind is told in two acts, revealing how Wilson grew up to be one of the most influential American playwrights. The book includes an authors note, a timeline of August Wilsons life, a list of Wilsons plays, and a bibliography.Bryants poetic descriptions effectively chronicle Wilsons artistic journey . . . This empathetic and informative study of August Wilsons early years explores the complexities of the black experience in America. A book that will resonate not only with bookworms and fans of the playwright but with black children wishing to see themselves reflected in the world around them.
