The 1619 Project: Born on the Water by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Renée Watson

dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

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.
