This short story flowed like a powerful poem. I had no idea what it was about, I just wanted something else to listen to. And I'm glad I listened to it. For even though we have freedom, a lot had to occur to get that freedom. Even though a lot was lost a lot of amazing people flourished throughout history, to inspire African Americans.

A beautiful, lyrical book that also taught me about the seven principles of Kwanzaa

Gorgeous book. You will most likely find this in the children’s section, but the poetry is really for readers of every age.

The People Remember is a fantastic book. It's double the length of a standard picture book, but it makes the extra length well worth it. It uses the principles of Kwanzaa to tell the story of African American history. It manages to be a great book about holiday traditions as well as being a great book about a broad historical subject. The poetic style suits it and makes it a welcoming read. The art is gorgeous. The notes at the end are interesting and helpful. Overall, this is a great book that I would highly recommend.
Listened to the audiobook, via Borrowbox.
The Details:
Read by: Robin Miles, afterword read by author.
This was so rich and lyrical. Despite listening to the audiobook and not having the illustrated physical book to hand, it still was so vivid in its language, which was very impressive.
There was a supplement enrichment PDF which gave some extra context and a taste of the stunning illustrations.
Pick it up, give it a go and enjoy! >(^_^)<

A history of Black people in the US that also illustrates the seven principles of Kwanza. One of my favorite picture books from this award season.
