Autorenporträt

Doreen Rappaport is the author of numerous books for young readers, including Freedom River, illustrated by Bryan Collier and winner of a Coretta Scott King Honor Award for Illustration. About creating No More!, Doreen Rappaport says, "Writing a book educates the writer. The inventive defiance, humanity, and resistance forged by African Americans under the horrors of slavery reinforced for me the power of individual dignity and community." Doreen Rappaport divides her time between New York City and a rural village in upstate New York. Shane W. Evans is the illustrator of several children's books, including Osceola, edited by Alan Govenar and winner of a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Award and the Orbis Pictus Award for outstanding nonfiction. When working on No More!, Shane W. Evans felt that his challenge was to share "the reality and darkness of slavery through painting." As he explains, "It is my goal to paint beautiful images, yet the subjects I depict are not always beautiful." Shane W. Evans lives in Missouri.
