Books with author Rachel Isadora

Look into the very core of the Big Apple. What do you see? Skyscrapers and subways, park benches and beach chairs, and adults and children--playing, laughing, working, and living together in the city.

Paying homage to pop art masters Lichtenstein, Warhol, and Oldenburg, an alphabet book packs a good deal of punch with its bright depictions of everyday objects, from "airplane," to "Zing! Zoom! Zap!" Reprint.

Enhanced with watercolors, a picture book from a Caldecott Honor Award winner tells the story of GodÆs creation of the world and the miracle of birth, through simple text and the opening words from Genesis.

The story of Ben is fiction, but it could be the story of more than one jazz musician who grew up in the twenties. Using the art-deco style of the period, Rachel Isadora not only captures the poignancy and yearning of a youthful talent, but in page after page of striking art seems to convey the very sound of music.
