Abstract: 
From dust cover: " Every day, young Charles White's mother takes him to the Chicago Public Library where the librarians look after him until she picks him up again after work, at six o' clock. At the library, Charles looks carefully at the picture books the librarians give him and also at the people around him, later drawing what he sees on scraps of paper at home...Ultimately, Charles becomes a great artist whose works now hang in museums throughout the United States."
