Big Machines: The Story of Virginia Lee Burton
Vendor: Cape Ann Museum Store
Written by Sherri Duskey Rinker and Illustrated by John Rocco
Everyone in Folly Cove knows Virginia Lee as “Jinnee.” With her magical wands she can draw whatever she imagines, but for her sons Aris and Michael, she draws the most wonderful characters of all: BIG MACHINES with friendly names like Mary Anne, Maybelle, and Katy. Her marvelous magical wands can make anything move—even a cheerful Little House.
In this loving tribute to Virginia Lee Burton, the New York Times best-selling authors Sherri Duskey Rinker and John Rocco pay homage to the storied life of one of the most beloved creators in children’s literature.
