Etched in Clay

Review
By 4th Grade Reading

The story of Dave is both inspirational and tragic, set in a period of time that no one should be allowed to forget. Through Etched in Clay, Andrea Cheng masterfully presents a piece of this history to readers at the fourth grade level and above. . . . Today, Dave’s pots are prized by collectors and housed in museums. He has been the subject of other books, most notably Dave the Potter, a Caldecott Honor winning picture book written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Bryan Collier. Etched in Clay digs deeper into his story, with an intense richness of time and place, packaged for an older audience.
