During the months of January and February why don't we celebrate love's inspiration! Let us celebrate dreamers and the people on the sidelines who pushed them ahead with encouragement, a nudge, hug and helping hand. Many will exalt Dr. King this month and next. But here in this book, author, Ntozake Shange sheds light on his queen, CORETTA SCOTT. The text is lyrical and spare. While it yet informs the young reader and reveals that CORETTA SCOTT was her own extraordinary person. Dr. King did not "make her." Theirs was a union of two equals coming together by divine providence to make a difference for the nation. And what can I say about the pictures by Kadir Nelson? They capture your attention and hold you. Glorious! Please buy and read no matter the month. Little girls and boys ought to know that in loving and working together, men and women make for positive change! This book is for Pre-K and above.
