Today at Kirkus, I write about Schwartz & Wade Books’ new I Have a Dream with the exquisite oil paintings of Kadir Nelson.

That link is here.

  1. There are no words for what that must have felt like, when Mr. Nelson finished that final picture for this book – wow. It sounds gorgeous, and we do indeed know that Mr. Nelson is BRILLIANT.

  2. I sometimes take Kadir Nelson’s brilliant illustrations for granted. Nelson is one of if not the only artist whose illustrations are grand enough to pull off this book — simply the text of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s speech. I have seen a mock-up of the book but am still waiting to listen the CD.
