The Fighting Infantryman

[Albert D.J. Cashier’s] story is well served by Sanders’ telling of it, written primarily in short, declarative, well-crafted sentences. Ali’s soft-colored illustrations–in both full-page and vignette pictures–capture the spirit and tone of what is a remarkable story. * Booklist *

Rob Sanders is a picture book author, a writing teacher, a sometimes blogger, and a dog lover. He worked for fifteen years in religious educational publishing as a writer, editor, editorial manager, and product designer. These days, he teaches elementary school kids about books and words and reading and writing, and writes books for those same kids.

Rob is the author of the nonfiction picture books Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag, Peaceful Fights for Equal Rights, and Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A Revolution. But he’ll always write fiction too, including Rodzilla, Outer Space Bedtime Race, and Ball & Balloon.

Nabi H. Ali is a Tamil-American illustrator who enjoys creating diverse works that showcase an array of cultures and peoples. His interest in illustrative works started when he realized he could help create representation in the arts and in media for minorities, and he is very passionate about working with characters that he would have liked to have seen in books when he was a kid. His hobbies include drawing (of course), doll collecting, reading, learning about South Asian mythology and folklore, and researching history.
