Caldecott Honor artist Chistopher Myers brings Zora Neale Hurston’s legacy to picture book readers! Now available in paperback.
 
 
 
Back in the day,
Way, way back in the day,
There were liars, real liars. Not “dog ate my homework,” “bus was late” kind of lies.
There were liars who could tell a lie so good,
You didn’t even want to know the truth.
 
And Sister Zora, she wrote down all the lies she could get her hands on.
In Lies and Other Tall Tales, Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Honor artist Christopher Myers has created a visual treat that will tickle your funny bone. Myers’s expressive collages are as bold and wild as the whoppers Hurston encountered on her travels through the Gulf States.
