Summary: |
Narrated as a story told by a old, Black storyteller to a young child, the book relates the history of African American writers which is illustrated with beautiful, bold paintings by Jerry Butler. The use of different type faces may distract some readers. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers may want to excerpt sections about particular people or historical periods to use with text sets on those subjects. A teacher may choose to use the entire book, developing a class matrix to keep track of dates, accomplishments, barriers that were overcome, and so forth. Individual students could then choose one of the featured writers to do further research using the "Selected Reading Material" at the end of the book.
