Dorothea Lange

I've always enjoyed and admired Lange's photography. This book is a good introduction for children but the illustrations do not carry the same visual weight as her original prints.

I actually learned more from the biography section in the back than the text. Perhaps the writing was too simplistic or haphazard to adequately convey Lange's hardships and skillful abilities.

Overall a good book to check out from the library.
