We stan books about black girl joy. The story and inclusion of the quilt and it's historic significance really made me love this more!

A beautiful book brimming with beautiful Black women in history & today. A joyous read encouraging kids, especially Black girls, to keep striving for their dreams & being themselves! Absolutely loved the inclusion of a quilt throughout the story & the note in the back explaining its significance to African American culture & recording political past. Further information about each of the women noted throughout the book is included. A must-read, perfect to gift & to pair with it's companion text Black Boy, Black Boy.

I read Black Boy, Black Boy a few years ago and was excited to see a follow up with this one! A great children's book series that belongs on every shelf. And the use of the quilt to tie together all the pages is really clever!

Thanks to netgalley for a copy in exchange for an honest review!
