The ABCs of Black History

I love alphabet books.  This rhyming one is beautiful, written by Rio Cortez and illustrated by Lauren Semmer.  Each page spread highlights a letter of the alphabet and all of the words that link to black history.  B is for bold, brave and brotherhood.  D is for diaspora.  P is for power.  R is for relentless.  S is for scientists.  Touching on all apsects of black history, including very current happenings, it is a wonderful homage to black heritage.  Several pages in the back offer deeper explanation of some people and terms mentioned in book.  (PIC COR)
