Beautifully written, beautifully illustrated, difficult to read only because of the source material (history) they drew from. I'd recommend for upper elementary students and older as well as for adults. I suspect that none of us (white USian people specifically) will ever be done learning about this part of our country's history.

Read for Banned Books Week! This moving and necessary picture book offers a much-needed new perspective on the tragic loss of known ancestry for many African-Americans due to the Middle Passage and chattel slavery. This is an inspiring and beautifully illustrated story about American identity and Black history well worth spending time with not only for children but adults too.
