Book Reviews of Me and Uncle Romie: A Story Inspired by the Life and Art of Romare Beardon
Book Review: Me and Uncle Romie
Summary: 5 Stars
Me and Uncle Romie-A story inspired by the Life and Art of Romare Beardon- I haven't purchased the book yet but I used it in a lesson for my 2nd graders in art. This is a beautiful story about an artist and his nephew... which allows the students to relate to seeing a real person in a real situation. The illustrations are fantastic! Romare Bearden didn't illustrate the story but the artist uses the style of Beardon to illustrate the story. You can see the pastel chalks, drawing and collage work in the pictures. Not only do I read the story to the students but I point out the style and techniques used. My students created really cool illustrations having seen and heard the story. A great book for all! I plan to add this to my wishlist of books to add to my library. I am in the midst of purchasing books and this will be one of them.
Summary of Me and Uncle Romie: A Story Inspired by the Life and Art of Romare Beardon
Whooo-ooo! Train's a' coming! James can't wait to get on board and go visit his uncle way up north in New York City. But he also just wishes he could take a little bit of home along with him-things like baseball games, and the special birthday cake Mama always makes. Will Uncle Romie, who's some kind of artist, know about things like that?
Young readers will feel as if they're discovering the city's wonders, and making an unexpected friend, right along with James in this vibrant story, expressively illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award winner Jerome Lagarrigue.
A how-to section on storytelling collages and a short biography of Romare Bearden are included.
