Lies and Other Tall Tales Paperback - 2015
by Zora Neale Hurston; Christopher Myers (Illustrator); Joyce Carol Thomas
While traveling in the Gulf States in the 1930s, Hurston collected and recorded some real whoppers. Young readers can enjoy these far-fetched fibs enhanced with bold, expressive collages. Full color.
From the rear cover
What's the shortest man you ever seen?
I seen a man so short he had to get up on a box to look over a grain of sand.
And the fastest?
I seen a man run so hard that he lost his feets.
Back in the day, there were liars who could lie so good, you didn't even want to know the truth. And we have Zora Neale Hurston to thank for collecting their stories. In Lies and Other Tall Tales, Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Honor artist Christopher Myers has created a visual treat that will tickle your funny bone. Myers's expressive collages are as bold and wild as the whoppers Hurston encountered on her travels through the Gulf States.
