Named a 5th– 6th Grade Honor Book by the Austin Young Engineer’s Award 2003-2004 From old favorites like Monticello, Falling Water, and the Chrysler Building, to lesser-known treasures like Bernard Maybeck’s First Church of Christ, Scientist (in Berkeley, California), the buildings that Janice Weaver presents tell the story of a nation and its people. Traveling through almost four hundred years of history – and to all four corners of the continental United States – Building America explores an architecture that is as diverse as the people who created it. Complete with timeline, glossary, and index, this fine introduction to architecture is splendidly illustrated by Bonnie Shemie’s detailed paintings.
Artist Bio: Janice Weaver has been working with books all her life – first as an editor, and now as a writer. Building America, her first children’s book, has allowed her to pursue a love of architecture that began when she was knee-high to a gargoyle. Bonnie Shemie is a graphic artist, author, and painter with a special interest in architecture. She is the author of Houses of China and the acclaimed Native Dwellings Series, which includes Houses of adobe; Mounds of earth and shell; Houses of hide and earth; Houses of snow, skin and bones; Houses of wood; and Houses of bark. Bonnie Shemie’s most recent book is Building Canada.
