Each of the artists represented here by personal statements and art have worked with Rohmer in one way or another since the founding of Children’s Book Press in 1975. The artists are Carl Angel, Enrique Chagoya, George Crespo, Mark Dukes, Maya Christina Gonzalez, Caryl Henry, Nancy Hom, Hung Liu, Judith Lowry, Stephen Von Mason, Mira Reisberg, JoeSam., Pattsi Valdez and Helen Zughaib. Their cultural heritages vary, ranging from Native American to African, African American, Chinese, Filipino, Jewish, Lebanese, Mexican, Mexican American and Puerto Rican. Some readers will enjoy reading the one-page first-person essays, and they will notice ways in which a major life influence can be defined. Others will pay attention the works of art created for this highly visual tribute. The index lists the media used by each artist. Just Like Me: Stories and Portraits by Fourteen Artists (Children’s Book Press, 1997) is a valuable companion to this volume. (Ages 11-16)
