Book Reviews of Alvin Ailey
Book Review: DANCING TO HIS OWN BEAT: ALVIN AILEY
Summary: 5 Stars
Readers may have heard the name "Alvin Ailey" but this book makes the man live. From the time he was a kid his life was music: at first in church. Alvin's moving, leaping body is caught perfectly in the scratchboard illustrations toned with watercolors and acrylic. A fine top choice biography of an African-American artist!
