A Boston Globe-Horn Book Nonfiction Award Winner and a Moonbeam Children's Book Gold Award Winner, Photographic is a picture book biography of Graciela Iturbide from author Isabel Quintero and illustrator Zeke Peña.

Graciela Iturbide was born in Mexico City in 1942, the oldest of 13 children. When tragedy struck Iturbide as a young mother, she turned to photography for solace and understanding. From then on Iturbide embarked on a photographic journey that has taken her throughout her native Mexico, from the Sonoran Desert to Juchitán to Frida Kahlo's bathroom, to the United States, India, and beyond.

Photographic is a symbolic, poetic, and deeply personal graphic biography of this iconic photographer. Iturbide's journey will excite readers of all ages as well as budding photographers, who will be inspired by her resolve, talent, and curiosity.

"This extraordinary biography captures the poetry of Graciela Iturbide's photography. The brilliant pairing of Isabel Quintero's words and Zeke Peña's art creates a graphic biography that evokes the process and meaning of what it is to create. Highly recommended!" --Cathy Camper, author of Lowriders in Space

"Striking black and white illustrations . . . A powerful homage to the five-decade evolution of an artist still working--and still evolving--today." --Horn Book
