Thank you! It’s an honor to speak with you. Thanks for talking to us, and congratulations on the publication of this book laden with so much important Black history and culture! There’s a deep well to draw from for both - did you choose references that were meaningful to you personally, or that you felt were important to focus on in your book? Or both? Stunningly illustrated by Caldecott Honoree and Coretta Scott King Award winner Ekua Holmes, BLACK IS A RAINBOW COLOR is a sweeping celebration told through debut author Angela Joy’s rhythmically captivating and unforgettable words. It is a color to simply describe some of our favorite things, but it also evokes a deeper sentiment about the incredible people who helped change the world and a community that continues to grow and thrive. A child reflects on the meaning of being Black in this moving and powerful anthem about a people, a culture, a history, and a legacy that lives on.įrom the wheels of a bicycle to the robe on Thurgood Marshall’s back, Black surrounds our lives.
