The 1619 Project: Born on the Water by Nikole Hannah-Jones, Renée Watson

dark emotional informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This book is a retelling of the traditional narrative of the slave trade, told in verse and accompanied by glorious and dramatic illustrations. While this is aimed for readers in grades 2 through 5, I absolutely loved it! I stopped at every page to look deeper into the pictures.

I appreciate how intense yet open and honest this book is. It's heartbreaking, uplifting, and inspiring all at the same time!
