The African American Quartet: A FourBook Set With this quartet of stories and narrative nonfiction, emerging readers will come to know the important events and some of the key figures in African American history. The lives and accomplishments of the subjects are presented with clear language, primary sources, and memorable illustrations.
• Features original artwork by Lorenzo Pace • Takes a positive and triumphant approach to the difficult topics of slavery and civil rights struggles • Age-appropriate content and highinterest subject matter facilitates student interpretation and analysis “What gives this volume its punch is Pace’s willingness to incorporate his own biography. His family photos have just as much impact as the historical ones, which tend to be lesser-seen pictures: MLK sitting for a mug shot and the chaotic aftermath of his assassination. The latter is splotched with bloodlike paint and confetti—a good example of the unusual brave look and feel of Pace’s work.” —BOOKLIST ON MARCHING WITH MARTIN
“Dynamic, mixed-media collages add to the kid appeal. Featuring vibrant, childlike images and a rhythmic text, Jalani remains a strong choice. Solid, age-appropriate selections for introducing a difficult subject to young readers.”
