Bryant, Jen. A Splash of Red: The Life and Art of Horace Pippin. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013. 40p.
This beautifully written and illustrated children's book chronicles the life of artist Horace Pippin. Children will be inspired by Mr. Pippin's perseverance, as he continued to draw and paint despite an injury that caused him to lose control of his right arm. His positive attitude and determination helped him survive this injury and overcome many additional obstacles.
This is an excellent book for art classes, character education discussions, or biography units!
