Shunned by his father, who didn't understand his son's artistic leanings, Allen was embraced by Noro Shinpei, Japan's leading cartoonist and the man he came to love as his \"spiritual father.\" As WWII raged, Allen was further inspired to consider questions of his own heritage and the motivations of those around him. He worked hard in rigorous drawing classes, studied, trained--and ultimately came to understand who he really is. Part memoir, part graphic novel, part narrative history, DRAWING FROM MEMORY presents a complex look at the real-life relationship between a mentor and his student. With watercolor paintings, original cartoons, vintage photographs, and maps, Allen Say has created a book that will inspire the artist in all of us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllen Say is the beloved author and illustrator of many acclaimed books for children, including the highly acclaimed \u003ci\u003eDrawing from Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Inker's Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Favorite Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (all published by Scholastic); the Caldecott Medal winner \u003ci\u003eGrandfather's Journey\u003c\/i\u003e; and the Caldecott Honor winner \u003ci\u003eThe Boy of the Three-Year Nap\u003c\/i\u003e.
