Ellie K says:
An ode to black excellence and sorrow throughout history. Stunning illustrations and moving verse will give you chills and inspire kids.
This love letter to black life in the United States highlights the unspeakable trauma of slavery, the faith and fire of the civil rights movement, and the grit, passion and perseverance of some of the world's greatest heroes.

I work in adult and youth services and love books that make me laugh, spend time in other (sometimes non-existent) worlds and make me feel all the things. When I'm not at the library, you can find me baking, puttering around in my garden and hiking/biking around Ohio.
