Quezada creates stunning pots in the traditional style of the Casas Grandes people, including using human hair to make brushes and cow dung to feed the fire. This real-life story is written in the form of "The House That Jack Built," and relays how Juan’s pioneering work has changed a poor village into a prosperous community of world-class artists. Illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner David Diaz. (Goodreads)
David Diaz incorporates a second style of artwork for a few of his illustrated books. This book does not have the typically seen black outlines of his drawings but Diaz still uses wonderful color to complement the cultural background of the story. Although not black, the use of lines in the illustrations still have distinct characteristics.
