Hudson, Cheryl Willis

No matter the level of reader familiarity with spirituals, this title brims with lyricism and soul-lifting strength through its emotional illustrations and compelling text.

The authors and founders of Just Us Books reflect on the recent passing of trailblazing Black figures in the kid lit world. 

This is a book to be quietly contemplated, and shared with an adult, as there is much to be discovered from multiple readings. Addressing complex topics with sensitivity and candor, this a necessary purchase for all libraries serving children.
