Extraordinary Magic: The Storytelling Life of Virginia Hamilton
Nina Crews, illustrated by Nina Crews
Virginia Hamilton decided at age nine that she would become a writer. This biography follows the African American children’s book author, whose work drew on stories she heard while growing up on an Ohio farm. Told in free verse, the book recounts how those childhood stories led her to retell them for others. Digital illustrations and archival photographs accompany the account, with additional material at the end.
