Review: I have bought a few books from this series and love the fact that they have an African American book that was written by an African American author and illustrator by one as well! African American history books for children are scarce enough as it is and many depict a whitewashed view (for example, in one book written on Juneteenth, my daughter asked why all the slaves were smiling and appeared so happy as they were working, since they were slaves? Why, indeed???). This book, while of course being appropriate for children and not describing the most egregious acts of violence against AAs, does make it known that not everything was rainbows and unicorns and mentions massacres, the Scottsboro Boys, etc. James Baldwin, who is often omitted, even got a mention! So, definitely a great introduction to AA history!
Review: I purchased this for my great niece and nephew who are bi-racial and in grade school. We ALL need to know more about people in history to help us know we can do great things also. I read the book first and was thrilled to know what Afro Americans have done for all of us. I think they will enjoy it as an Easter gift. Their single Mom does not allow them to eat candy so I am thrilled to give them books.

I love this series of books. They are well written and nicely illustrated. With Black Lives Matter in the news, I feel this is a perfect introduction and history to this crucial subject.
