Larry Dane Brimner
Larry Dane Brimner (born November 5, 1949) is an American teacher, presenter, and writer of more than 150 children's books. They have ranged from fantasy-style stories for young children to non-fiction books for older children. Many of his books have civil rights themes; his book ''We Are One: The Story of Bayard Rustin'' won the Jane Addams Children's Book Award, in the "older children" category, in 2008. This was followed by ''Birmingham Sunday'', which received the Orbis Pictus Honor Book Award in 2011 from the National Council for Teachers of English and the Eureka! Gold Award from the California Reading Association. His 2011 title, ''Black & White: The Confrontation between Reverend Fred L. Shuttlesworth and Eugene "Bull" Connor'', was given the Carter G. Woodson Book Award (The National Council for the Social Studies) and named a Robert F. Sibert Honor Book (The Association for Library Service to Children/American Librarian Association). More recently, Brimner has turned to the migrant children he once taught with the publication of ''STRIKE! The Farm Workers' Fight for Their Rights'' (Calkins Creek Books), which received a starred review in ''Kirkus Reviews''. Provided by Wikipedia-
