Reviews
Julie Rubini has created a well-researched, empathetic, and thoughtful biography for young readers and their older allies. All the facts and chronologies are here, of course, but Virginia herself also shines through. --Arnold Adoff, Virginia Hamilton's husband If the children you know think biographies are boring, this one will make them reconsider. The tapestry of words Rubini weaves together brilliantly portrays the amazing, quirky, shy, frog-loving woman and extraordinary writer who was Virginia Hamilton.... Young readers will find this a quick, accessible, and memorable read.... A biography worthy of the larger-than-life Virginia Hamilton. --Kirkus (starred review)
[Hamilton's] life is presented in a way that will inspire young females to follow their dreams. Rubini interviewed Hamilton's husband and friends, and their accounts and memories are weaved throughout the pages....Children, teachers, public and school librarians, and parents alike will appreciate the stories of multiculturalism and diversity within the focal story. -- Melissa Martion Julie Rubini has created a well-researched, empathetic, and thoughtful biography for young readers and their older allies.
