He was deaf, mute, autistic, and probably dyslexic. He didn't walk until he was four; he would never learn to speak, write, read, or use sign language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Yet, today Castle's artwork hangs in major museums throughout the world. The Philadelphia Museum of Art opened \"James Castle: A Retrospective\" in 2008. The 2013 Venice Biennale included eleven works by Castle in the feature exhibition \"The Encyclopedic Palace.\" And his reputation continues to grow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Caldecott Medal winner Allen Say, author of the acclaimed memoir \u003ci\u003eDrawing from Memory\u003c\/i\u003e, takes readers through an imagined look at Castle's childhood, allows them to experience his emergence as an artist despite the overwhelming difficulties he faced, and ultimately reveals the triumphs that he would go on to achieve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur A.
