Andrea J. Loney
Discover the remarkable story of an orphaned Black boy who grew up to become the groundbreaking architect to the stars, Paul R. Williams. A stunning nonfiction picture book biography from the Caldecott Honor winning author and NAACP Image Award nominated artist.
As an orphaned Black boy growing up in America in the ealy 1900s, Paul R. Williams became obsessed by the concept of "home." He not only dreamed of building his own home, he turned his dreams into drawings. Defying the odds and breaking down the wall of racism, Williams was able to curve around the obstacles in his way to become a world-renown architect. He designed homes for the biggest celebrities of the day such as Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball and a number of buildings in Los Angeles that are now considered landmarks.
From Andrea J. Loney, the author of the Caldecott honor book Double Bass Blues and the award-winning artist Keith Mallett comes a remarkable story of fortitude, hope, and positivity.
