Lyrical, informative, historical, and inspiring story for all families to read, especially during Kwanza. Amazing illustrations. 

This book is a masterpiece, an oxymoron that is both a concise and comprehensive of a people's history and culture.

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.

Such an amazing book to have in your library!!

An abbreviated history of Africans who would become African Americans and the 7 principles of Kwanzaa, this is a beautifully illustrated book that reminds the reader to never forget our strength and resilience.
