WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Sweet Words So Brave... what's up with that? The title would more appropriately read- Listen little girl and I'll tell you a story.An abbreviated history of Black folk in America is given. Since the book is only 20+ pages long, you know not much history can be told in those few pages. However, what is shown is very good. I am most impressed with the fact that this book gives a serious picture of Black people in America. The Ilustrator, Jerry Butler, needs to produce books on his own as his pictures make the book. Every picture is packed with so much reality I thought I saw myself on one of those pages. Every house on the planet should read this book and dust-off a place on the bookshelf for this book.
