BURDEN, Shirley. I Wonder Why, Garden City, 1963

Item Details

Description

BURDEN, Shirley. I Wonder Why, Garden City, New York: Doubleday, 1963. Hardcover (pictorial paper over boards), 8 x 5 inches, 32 pages, 20 halftone illustrations, dustjacket. This book, diminutive in size but large in message, poses the question "I wonder why some people don't like me?" It then proceeds to present accessible images of things the speaker admires, such as God, rain, apples, babies, and lambs. Only upon seeing the last picture - of a young black girl - does the reader get the anti-racist message of the book. Burden (1908 -1989), a writer, filmmaker, and photographer, was associated for many years with Aperture, which named its gallery after him. Very good condition.
