This book is about his life, his work, and his art. In one of the most inspirational stories I've read this semester, Horace Pippin overcomes his disability and goes on to become a famous painter through hard work and sheer determination. This debilitating injury left him with little mobility in his right arm, preventing him from pursuing his passion: painting. Jen Bryant's A Splash of Red: The Life and Art of Horace Pippin is based on the true story of Horace Pippin (1888-1946), an African-American, who was shot in the shoulder while serving in the trenches during World War II. Picturebook: Schneider Book Award Winner for 2014 (Ages 0-10) ![]()
