Each volume in the Young Learners Series celebrates Black history in a way young children can actually hold in their hands. Big illustrations. Simple facts. Open-ended questions that get kids talking. No lectures, no overwhelm - just an invitation for children to learn, create, and see themselves in a long, beautiful story of creativity and courage.
What we play is life. - Louis Armstrong
