"Lyrical and beautifully illustrated, Dear Black Child is an anthem for young, Black readers<U+2014>one that defiantly centers the endless, joyful possibilities of Black children's futures. Dear Black Child, The universe is vast. So take as much space as you can. Stand in your own light. Wear your crown with pride. Let your name be your flag. Say it loud and say it proud. Wave it until its woven in their mind. From quiet moments in nature and lively school plays, to neighborhood walks and daydreaming in the park, each spread in Dear Black Child depicts Black children standing in their power, taking up their space in the world, making their own sunshine on rainy days, opening their doors to their communities, writing their own stories, and most importantly, being their own, jubilant selves. Rahma Rodaah's words are magical in their musicality. Combined with Lydia Mba's luminous illustrations, Dear Black Child is an inspirational picture book that begs to be read aloud, whether at storytime, bedtime, or even graduation."-- Provided by publisher.
