The Children's Book of America

by William J. Bennett, et al

The author, Michael Hague ,
I'm Michael Hague and I am glad to have this opportunity to comment on my work as the illustrator of the three-book series edited by William Bennett. It was fun revisiting familiar tales and discovering new ones. The first book of this series is CHILDREN'S BOOK OF VIRTUES. Through my illustrations I wanted to enrich each reader's discovery of the qualities that are the basis of good character. In the second book, THE CHILDREN'S BOOK OF HEROES, I wanted to introduce the readers to people who have applied these traits. And, in the third book of the series, THE CHILDREN'S BOOK OF AMERICA, I wanted to honor the tales of these people of character who have shaped our history, our folklore, and our American spirit.I have tried to be very accurate in my illustrations of the stories that are about real people and events:I researched every person and scene so that they would be an authentic portrayal of these remarkable stories. In the tales of fiction,I searched my imagination for the images. It is my hope that my artwork complements these books and makes the stories come alive for every reader.
