Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans by Kadir Nelson

5.0

How do you condense 400+ years of history into less than 100 pages? I ask this from a place of awe. Considering the audience - children - this story makes African American history really accessible and, hopefully, piques people's curiosity to read more about each topic presented.
I walked away learning something new, which isn't entirely surprising given how much the history text books and our education systems are whitewashed.

I listened to this as an audio book and can only imagine how much more the illustrations must add to the overall experience and value of this book. 100% recommend it to everyone!
