"Dear Brother Johnson, Your work is beautiful. We have always found ways to take what essentially was not designed for us, and bring Black magic to it. My brother we keep making it over the rivers because of imaginative, night-full, and spirited workers such as yourself.  As with many others, I am grateful for your vision, and equally, your willing to make your 'vision' a work of art itself."

"My first grader was discussing Ezra Jack Keats' works at school. She came home asking if we had anything within our collection of books. Unfortunately, we didn't, but thanks to this site we could find more information to further our own discussion with her. She was thrilled and has the copy of his bio in her book bag to share tomorrow. Thank you!!"
