Welcome to another book review! Thank you to hearourvoicestours for the opportunity to review an advanced copy of Loretta Little Looks Back. This book is a glimpse into African American history from share-cropping to the civil rights movement. The three separate stories weave themselves into a journey that’s breathtaking.

I loved the writing style of this book. Oral storytelling is a significant part of Black history. It’s how our stories were passed down from generation to generation. This book exemplified that tradition. Each piece of the story reads as of its being told to you by a family member. The other striking part of the book is that each character’s feelings and experiences leap off the page. The racism, the struggles, the triumphs, they are all described so richly that it’s like you’re experiencing them for yourself. It makes for an emotional, but amazing read. This is a story you won’t want to miss. I can’t forget about the illustrations! They were so cute. Honestly, I think I’m order to appreciate the story, you have to read it for yourself.
