BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A young boy thinks about his emotions: joy, sorrow, fear, anger, hunger, pride, peace, compassion, hope and love, many of them relevant to Black Lives Matter.
This powerful poem by Zetta Elliott is empowering and relevant. Oh, the illustrations! We see the faces of people like Louis Armstrong, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Mae Jamison, and others who made meaningful and lasting contributions. Some full page illustrations, others in panels that tell a story of their own. From the boy skateboarding alone, and playing with friends, or interacting with his community to heartbreaking scenes of protests and of a candlelight vigil, this timely picture book is highly recommended!
