My Review...
The first word that comes to my mind is “wow”. I think the
first thought that came to my mind when I completed this was that it was most
certainly not just for African American children. It’s for all children.
Children who need to learn of all cultures and the ups and downs of all our
lives.
This is so fun and easy to read. The illustrations are
bright and colorful and fit right with the story. It’s in verse, making the
reading flow so easy. Being a musician, I get very carried away with the “flow”
of music, the rhythmic feel of reading. This has it all. This is also the
perfect book for a parent or teacher to read to, or read with, a child. It’s the perfect book to open
more discussions than I could even begin to list here. I sound overwhelmed but
utilizing this great book to explain history to all kids opens every
opportunity for children to grow up with a very basic and beginning
understanding of our past. Enough so at least to want to learn more.
