  Gordon Parks: No Excuses is the award-winning biography of the acclaimed photographer by Ann Parr.  A Carter G. Woodson Honor BookA Notable Social Studies Trade Book for Young PeopleRecipient of the Storytelling World Award Honor Title   Gordon Parks overcame the obstacles of poverty and racism and never gave up on his dreams. He attributes his drive for excellence to his mother who told him, “What a white boy can do, you can too—and no excuses.” The first black photographer for Life magazine, Gordon Parks spent over two decades as a professional photographer, and his resume grew to include novelist, musician, artist, and poet.   After reading a story about Gordon Parks in a Kansas newspaper, Ann Parr immediately set out to learn more about his life. She first interviewed the mayor of Fort Scott, Kansas, whose efforts healed wounds between Gordon Parks and his hometown, and then many of Parks’ friends. But it was after interviewing Parks in person that she knew she had a success story that would inspire generations.   Featuring forty-one vibrant black and white photographs and illustrations, this book features details of Gordon Parks’ life and his work, and includes his photographs of the poor, stylish Parisian models, and the Civil Rights movement.  “Gordon Parks is remarkable: a Renaissance man who has mastered photography, filmmaking, and writing. The story of his life is certainly an incredible one. Transcending voyeurism, Parks’ photographs reveal vulnerabilities of the human experience with grace and compassion. . . . Gordon Parks is an inspiration to us all.” —Booklist

  Being a ghost isn't easy. . . even if you have a Ph.D. in haunting! Henry Hamilton is a Civil War ghost with a dream of traveling in outer space. Little does he know when he stows away on the space shuttle as the first ghost in outer space that keeping incognito isn't as easy as it is on earth. Vowing not to do any haunting while on vacation (he isn't licensed to haunt in space), Henry quickly learns that haunting, for a ghost, is second nature, and that if he is not going to scare the crew of the shuttle into returning home early, he must quickly adapt to the difficulties of life in orbit. But for Henry, to remain inconspicuous is a full-time task, and what he really wants to do on this trip is learn about space and how it affects ghosts in particular. And for a ghost with a love for food, it becomes next to impossible to keep the crew from becoming suspicious of the mysterious occurrences on board the Spirit of America. A truly exciting adventure, Henry Hamilton in Outer Space gives children a real feel for what it's like to be aboard the space shuttle.Marilyn Redmond is also the author of Henry Hamilton: Graduate Ghost, an ABC TV "Children's Special."
