The New Brownies' Book is a beautiful tapestry of artwork, poetry and essays. I'm so glad the authors took on this reimagining of W.E.B. DuBois original periodical and brought it forward for a new generation to experience. I loved the stories told by both the contributors and editors. And the artwork was amazing! I wish they would host an exhibit on the art and photographs showcased in the book. I'm excited to share this with my own children and I hope Black families, especially, get a chance to view and read it.

This book is so beautiful!

The pictures and the poems are page-turners. The essays are written so you can imagine what is going on in the story, which is thoroughly engrossing.

I will get this book in hardcover for my kids to read, a copy for my coffee table, and gift it to friends who appreciate art.

Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Easy-to-read, Informative, Inspirational, Page-turner, Tear-jerker, Witty
