I’m
linking to Nonfiction Picture Book Wednesday, hosted by Kid Lit Frenzy and
all sharing non-fiction texts. It’s a first time, but wanted to share this
wonderful book.
Be sure to visit Kid Lit Frenzy and
see what other nonfiction books are shared this week!
Harlem’s Little Blackbird – written by Renee Watson, pictures by
Born to former slaves, Florence
Mills was one of the successful and famous entertainers before and during the
Harlem Renaissance. She began being
popular as a very young girl, from her singing and her kindnesses and sticking
up both for her rights, and for others who needed support. Some of her experiences will be good entries
into discussion about courage and doing the right thing! The book adds another inspiring biography
about someone we have previously known
little. The illustrations by Christian
Robinson fill the page with lovely folk-style paintings.
