Biographies for middle school readers are a popular topic for reports. Enslow's new biography series geared toward those readers includes a book about
Walter Dean Myers. What started as a way to be able to read
aloud to classmates despite having a speech impediment, turned into a career. Writing has earned him numerous prizes and awards. He first started writing poetry, which was published in literary magazines in 1961. His first book, a picture book, was published in 1969.
Other people featured in this series include Oprah Winfrey, Toni Morrison, Will Smith, Halle Berry, and Maya Angelou. Titles in the
African-American Icons series are over one hundred pages each and are available in both library and paperback bindings. These titles are also available as multi-user eBooks.
These books are available from your preferred vendor, your independent bookstore, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble.
