Breathtaking and empowering
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
The illustrations are stunning and the poems are simple and spectacular. An amazing read for any child, these poems are especially empowering for young African American children. It's unusual to find a book that doesn't make an issue of being a minority. I highly, highly recommend it.
