When I hear spirituals
Sometimes
Grows in my chest . . .
Her heart pounds, she gets a lump in her throat, and tears flow down her cheeks. She wants to clap her hands and stomp her feet. There is healing, tenderness, strength, pride, and above all, hope.
The author of the classic picture book Bright Eyes, Brown Skin, Cheryl Willis Hudson, has woven together lyrics of twelve timeless, Black spirituals with a moving exploration of how music holds memories, emotions, and empowerment.
Songs include Go down, Moses, Nobody Knows the Troubles I See, Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child, Rock-a-My Soul, Get on Board, Little Children, and more.
Evocative illustrations by award-winning artist London Ladd depict important people and places in Black history and culture: Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King, Jr., the Great Migration, and the Enslaved People's Uprising of 1811.
Journey through Black history and music in this layered picture book.
