A School Library Journal Top 20 Books of the Year Pick

* "Perkins's poem has always made for a stirring recitation; new and old fans will find that Collier's images do full justice to it."—Publishers Weekly, starred review

With a compelling rhythm that begs for recitation, the verse celebrates the power and potential of black children.... A rousing celebration and call to action, this book is a great choice for every library."—School Library Journal, starred review
