Don Tate
Don Tate (IPA: ') (born December 21, 1963) is an American author and illustrator of books for children. He is also an activist promoting racial and cultural inclusiveness in children's literature. He notes that as a child he had to read the encyclopedia to discover a multicultural world; based on the children's books of his day he "thought the world was white". He co-founded the young African American blog The Brown Bookshelf and helps run the #WeNeedDiverseBooks campaign to improve diversity of material in children's books. ==Career== Tate began his career as an illustrator with ''Say Hey: A Song of Willie Mays'' (Jump at the Sun/Hyperion, 2000), written by Peter Mandel. His first book as an author, ''It Jes’ Happened: When Bill Traylor Started to Draw,'' illustrated by R. Gregory Christie, was published by Lee & Low Books in 2012. It is a "captivating"〔 biography of folk artist Bill Traylor, a former slave. The book received numerous awards such as a Lee & Low New Voices Honor Award and an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards & Honors )〕 It was selected as a Kirkus Best Children’s Books List Selection,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best Children's Books of 2012 )〕 a Booklist Editors’ Choice, 2012, and a New York Public Library Top 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing as well as one of Bank Street College of Education Best Children’s Books of the Year, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Best Children's Books of the Year, Five to Nine, 2012 edition )〕 Tate's 2015 illustrated novel ''Poet: The Remarkable Story of George Moses Horton'' tells the story of the 19th century slave in Chatham County, North Carolina who subsequently became the first African American in the Southern United States to write a book. Tate was inspired to write about Horton via a friend; he researched his life in the University of North Carolina archives. The Wilson Library at UNC hosted the national launch of the book on September 3, 2015. A review in the ''School Library Journal'' called the book "A lovely introduction to an inspirational American poet." The ''Boston Globe'' called it "a moving biography of a slave who taught himself to read using a discarded spelling book".
