An American story  Cover Image Book Book

An American story / Kwame Alexander ; art by Dare Coulter.

Alexander, Kwame, (author.). Coulter, Dare, (illustrator.).

Summary:

From the fireside tales in an African village, through the unspeakable passage across the Atlantic, to the backbreaking work in the fields of the South, this is a story of a people's struggle and strength, horror and hope. This is the story of American slavery, a story that needs to be told and understood by all of us. A testament to the resilience of the African American community, this book honors what has been and envisions what is to be. With stunning mixed-media illustrations by newcomer Dare Coulter, this is a potent book for those who want to speak the truth. Perfect for family sharing, the classroom, and homeschooling. -- Provided by publisher.
