He was fascinated with painting light and shadow and his works explore this challenge.Edward Hopper's story is one of courage, resilience, and determination. In this picture book biography of Edward Hopper, Robert Burleigh and Wendell Minor invite young readers into the world of a truly special American painter, most celebrated for his paintings "Nighthawks" and "Gas."
