Kin: Rooted in Hope by Carole Boston Weatherford

5.0

Powerful words and beautiful illustrations take a multi-generational look at how family was defined and shattered through enslavement. This novel-in-verse is told in the voices of the author's ancestors. By sharing their family’s story, the Weatherfords are helping to reshape the narrative around enslavement. Includes references, an author's and illustrator's note, and a bibliography offering sources for additional research.
