Horn Book Review

This portrait of the television talk-show queen focuses on Winfrey's Mississippi childhood, during which she lived on a farm and honed her public-speaking skills at church. Many pages conclude with an italicized remark about God's influence (e.g., "God had shone a light on her"); cumulatively, these suggest an Oprah-as-saint sentiment that's somewhat off-putting. The acrylic paintings capture her strength and determination. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
