What is A Picture Book of Thurgood Marshall (Picture Book Biography) about?

<p>Follows the life of the first African American to serve as a judge on the United States Supreme Court.</p><h3>Children's Literature</h3><p>Thurgood Marshall's real name was Thoroughgood, after his grandfather, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War. By the second grade, however, the boy was tired of writing out such a long name, so he shortened it to Thurgood. It was just the first of many ways in which he was to make a name for himself. Through simple, straightforward text and low-key illustrations, this picture book biography provides the basic facts in a format friendly to the reluctant-or beginning-reader. Though Adler fails to cite references and perhaps even oversimplifies his subject at times, he places Marshall's achievements well within their historical context, offering a relatively balanced portrait of this great civil rights figure.</p>
