Highly acclaimed author Nikki Grimes’ feminist poetry collection celebrates little-known women poets of the Harlem Renaissance.
For centuries, accomplished women have fallen out of historical records. This is especially true for gifted women poets of the Harlem Renaissance.
In this poetry collection, Virginia Hamilton Lifetime Achievement Award and Children’s Literature Legacy Award–winning author Nikki Grimes uses “The Golden Shovel” method to create original poems that introduce readers to these groundbreaking women and their work. Each poem is paired with unique art from Black women illustrators to create a thought-provoking book with timely themes for today’s readers.
With a foreword, author's note, poet biographies, and index, this Jane Addams Children’s Book Award finalist is a wonderful resource and a book to cherish.
