Publisher Description
In her moving homage to the Black Church, Tonya Bolden has written a poem spanning centuries of oppression, freedom, prejudice, and joy. From times when slaves worshipped secretly in fields at night to the grand city churches of today, the Church has been there to help its community, inspire its congregants, and teach us what is possible when people join together.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Bolden's impressionistic poem is a paean to the strong religious tradition that has provided generations of African-Americans with guidance, solace, refuge, sustenance and inspiration," said PW. "Christie's collage-like illustrations capture the energy and passion of the individuals celebrated in this emotion-charged work." Ages 5-8.
