The illustrations are amazing! Each letter of the alphabet is for an Artist with an accompanying poem and imagery. I could see the art for “N” Nina Simone hanging in my home! I’m not sure the intended age range but note that the legendary blues song Hoochie Coochie Man is mentioned for “W” Muddy Waters.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #NetGalley #BlackArtistsRock

From Maya Angelo to Zora nail hurstings this book covers famous black artist mostly in the 19th century. It covers a gambit of artists from anthropologist to writers to dancers many other careers and all were exceptional in the craft. With great artist renderings Miss Reese pays homage to those we don’t hear enough about including the famous tap dancers the nickel brothers it seems in America we are playing catch up and those who should’ve been household names are people we are just hearing about but thanks to those like Cara Reese we will. I heard about this book when my daughter was looking for five books she had to order for her class written by black authors and I am so glad I did I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. I received it from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

<3 This children's book was beautifully done with Black Art and Black History the entire family can enjoy for generations to come. It was so well done and a coffee table #MustHave. I totally enjoyed absorbing the nostalgia of Black History. <3 #BlackArtistsRock #NetGalley
