[Makes] history personal in a way that middle grade readers will connect to and feel empowered by. --School Library Journal (starred review)

From TikTok star and creator of Fast Black History Taylor Cassidy comes a lively...accessible and appealing (Kirkus Reviews), lightly illustrated nonfiction debut that blends history and memoir in a joyful celebration of Black American historical figures.

Meet Taylor Cassidy, Black history enthusiast and creator of the viral TikTok series Fast Black History. In her debut book, Taylor takes readers on a journey through the Black history she wishes she was taught in school. With sparkling wit and humor--and lots of fun pop culture references--she paints a vibrant picture of twelve figures from Black history whose groundbreaking contributions shaped America as we know it today. Introducing icons from activists to literary giants, movie stars to Olympic gold medalists, fashion designers to astronauts, and more, this one-of-a-kind collection makes Black history relatable, relevant, and utterly irresistible.

Using Black history as inspiration, Taylor weaves together research and personal anecdotes that illuminate each trailblazer's impact on her own life--as well as sharing plenty of triumphant, funny, and embarrassing moments from her past. From navigating friend breakups and unrequited crushes to setting boundaries and fighting self-doubt, Taylor's been there...and she's learned some valuable life lessons along the way.

This book is a joyful celebration of Black historymakers, and you're invited to the party. Come on in and let these twelve true stories inspire you to make history of your own!
