Choosing this book was a no-brainer. I will read anything that Kwame Alexander writes. (In fact, I hope to read more of his books this summer!) And Kadir Nelson's illustrations are always amazing. What a powerful team! And the word I'm left with after reading this book is, indeed, "powerful." This book celebrates strength. The strength of each person is captured beautifully in each illustration. What is amazing is how both the author and illustrator capture that strength of African Americans through history to the present and then give hope for the future.
