- DIANA SUDYKA (pronounced soo-dee-kah, it’s Slavic) is a Chicago based illustrator. As a child she was the one always looking under logs for snails and bugs, and not much has changed since. Early in her career she created screenprinted posters for musicians including Andrew Bird, St. Vincent, and The Black Keys. She moved into the publishing world by illustrating several volumes of the best-selling series The Mysterious Benedict Society and The Secret Keepers by Trenton Lee Stewart. Working mainly in gouache, watercolor, and ink, subject matter and aesthetic choices for her paintings are inspired by a passion for nature and science, as well as a love for various folk art traditions.

From a young age, Sue Hendrickson was meant to find things such as lost coins, perfume bottles, and hidden treasure. Her endless curiosity eventually led to her career to the science of studying fossils. In 1990, at a dig in South Dakota, Sue made her biggest discovery to date: Sue the T. rex, the largest and most complete T. rex skeleton ever dug up in history. Named in Sue's honor, Sue the T. rex would be placed on permanent exhibition at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. This book, children's literature, inspires readers to take a closer look at the world around them and to never lose their brave spirits. Always do fun things to keep life interesting and intriguing, and see what you can discover. This is a very good book for young children because it is really cool to kids what Sue finds, and they become more alert of their surroundings and the things that humans can do & find.… (més)

Readers will definitely come away knowing at least two things about Sue Hendrickson (or three, counting the long blonde mane that makes her instantly locatable in Sudyka’s outdoorsy scenes): first, that as a child she was shy—Buzzeo uses the word seven times in her short narrative—and second, that she was born to, as the author repeatedly puts it, “find things.” As tantalizing references in both the main account and the afterword note, that curiosity has turned up a number of lost and hidden treasures, from amber to shipwrecks, but it is for Sue that she is best known. That discovery begins with four summers spent “digging for duckbills” in South Dakota, climaxed by the dramatic moment she spots “three enormous backbones” protruding from a cliff. The narrative continues through the painstaking process of removing the fossils bone by bone, then seeing the dinosaur at last reconstructed (after a long brangle over ownership) at Chicago’s Field Museum. The prehistoric Sue poses regally at the close in both a painted portrait and a tailpiece photograph; though often seen alone, in group scenes, the white, human one works with a racially diverse set of colleagues.
Tendentious role modeling commingled with an exciting tale of dino discovery. (source lists) (Informational picture book. 6-8)
