Sobre IBD

Faces in American History ... from my palette is a heuristic, thumbnail view of American history focused on each president of the United States from George Washington to Joseph Biden. A brief narrative summarizing each president’s administration--including key legislation--is provided in the book’s 30,000 words. In addition to individual portraits of the 45 principals, an additional 78 paintings provide important background perspective of events or individuals associated with each time frame. Readers interested in presidential history should enjoy both the paintings and the non-partisan information included in this 'unusual textbook.' The book is appropriate for students from middle school to college. As a picture book, it can be enjoyed by even younger students learning to recognize the presidents and many of the other historical figures.
