(goodreadsMockCaldecott2017March) A colorful, joyful book about another piece of American history I did not know.
Such a beautiful book love the style of the illustrations and how it connects to the poem and theme
This Caldecott Honor book (2017) and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor Book (2017) is many things. It is historical fiction, it is poetry, and it is beautifully illustrated. Deserves a place in your library.
I did not know about Congo Square and I was born in New Orleans!
This is a picture book. Again, it was ok for a picture book and interesting, but I do t think it belongs in the battle of the books by school library journal. Those books are supposed to be middle grade and YA.
