  The Faithful Friend

  By Robert D. San Souci, Jerry Pinkney (Illustrator)

  Pinkney's distinctive illustrations evoke the mystery, magic, and romance in San Souci's retelling of this West Indian folktale.

  John Henry

  By Julius Lester, Jerry Pinkney (Illustrator)

  Pinkney's earthy, craggy pencil and watercolor illustrations capture both the power and the humanity of this African-American folk-hero. Masterful use of light and shadow portray the strength and mass of the Allegheny Mountains, which match the magnitude of John Henry, while delicate shading and mottled color suggest the detail of a realistic natural setting enlivened with touches of whimsy.
