I really liked this book but it is a bit of a tongue twister.  The rhymes can be harsh and the cadence is not constant.  But then again this book was not meant necessarily as a read a loud but as a primer to begin Black history at an early age.  To help the youngest of kids feel seen and heard.  I loved this book for whats on the page, the front matter, and the further information in the back matter.  Plus, the artwork is stunning.
