The stunning 1995 Caldecott Honor Book
John Henry is stronger than ten men, and can dig through a mountainfaster than a steam drill. Julius Lester's folksy retelling of apopular African-American folk ballad has warmth, tall tale humor,and boundless energy. Jerry Pinkney illustrates the story with"rich colors borrowed from the rocks and the earth, so beautifulthat they summon their own share of smiles and tears"(Booklist).
"A tall tale and heroic myth, a celebration of the humanspirit....The story is told with rhythm and wit, humor andexaggeration, and with a heart-catching immediacy that connects thehuman and the natural world." --Booklist, starredreview
