and ink. Limited use of color to heighten the story.
520 "I was born at the beginning of it all, on the Red side-
the Communist side-of the Iron Curtain." Through annotated
illustrations, journals, maps, and dreamscapes, Peter Sis
shows what life was like for a child who loved to draw,
proudly wore the red scarf of a Young Pioneer, stood guard
at the giant statue of Stalin, and believed whatever he
was told to believe. But adolescence brought questions.
Cracks began to appear in the Iron Curtain, and news from
the West slowly filtered into the country. Sís learned
about beat poetry, rock 'n' roll, blue jeans, and Coca-
Cola. He let his hair grow long, secretly read banned
books, and joined a rock band. Then came the Prague Spring
of 1968, and for a teenager who wanted to see the world
and meet the Beatles, this was a magical time. It was
short-lived, however, brought to a sudden and brutal end
by the Soviet-led invasion. But this brief flowering had
provided a glimpse of new possibilities-creativity could
be discouraged but not easily killed. By joining memory
and history, Sis takes us on his extraordinary journey:
from infant with paintbrush in hand to young man borne
aloft by the wings of his art.--Publisher information.
