Yuyi Morales has contributed to America the Beautiful, a multi-artist anthology that pairs diverse illustrators with the lyrics of the classic American song. Her contribution brings her distinctive visual style to the collaborative project.
Morales is a Mexican-born illustrator and author whose picture books have won multiple Pura Belpre Awards. Her work in America the Beautiful sits alongside illustrations from other acclaimed artists, each one interpreting a section of the song’s lyrics through their own lens. The anthology format gives readers a chance to see how different visual styles interact within a single book.
For fans of Morales’ solo work, like Dreamers or Just a Minute!, this anthology offers a brief but recognizable sample of her art in a collaborative context. It is a good introduction for readers who want to explore her illustration style before picking up her full picture books.
