This picture book biography of Horace Pippin shares his love of art and the many challenges he faced.  Most notably, Horace was seriously injured in World War I and was no longer able to lift up his right arm.  With time and determination, he taught himself how to draw again by holding his right hand up with his left and subsequently built up enough strength to pursue his art using this method.  This book provides a wonderful starting point for discussion about over coming adversity.
