Monyei's book should be required reading in schools everywhere. With its beautiful art and easy-to-understand language, this book teaches kids bite-size bits of vital information about Black American history. We learn about leaders from history as well as the current day. I love that this will introduce kids to many new people and concepts that can propel them to further learning. I will be buying a copy for my classroom too!
(Thank you to the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
