An amazing book I want to be placed in postered and to hang it in my room. I had no idea who this man was, or the amazing legacy that he created for African-Americans, and booklovers everywhere. Absolutely an inspiration. It is beautiful to know that there is someone who started this journey for all of us avid readers and writers. I want every black child to have access to this book. Definitely going to be texting my school librarian to get at least five for our school library. Thank you so much for writing this book! My book collection had purpose before, but now there’s no way I’m getting rid of them!

Great introduction to African American history for younger readers! I learned a few things as well and am left with some curiosities that I'll be following up on!

Such a beautiful book that shows how a librarian's mind works. Arturo Schomburg learned and then learned more about the people who formed his heritage and then he made sure that others learned also. This book must be included in upper elementary and middle schools for research to encourage students to learn as Arturo did--- with enthusiasm!

I found this book very interesting! I’m not sure at what age range it is directed. It is very text heavy for a picture book.
