The timeline format might not be ideal for every purpose, but overall it makes a great addition to a classroom or school library. So often curricula reduce representation of African Americans to just slavery->emancipation->civil rights movement, but this overlooks rich cultural histories and historical figures who aren't MLK Jr or Rosa Parks. This book provides lots of ideas for broadening the conversations.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to review a temporary digital ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.

While there are lots of wonderful passages that will be helpful as a reference, I found the layout a bit haphazard.

This is an important and interesting book, for kids who love this style of nonfiction I think this is a good title. It's hard for me to review this book as I find this style to be too convoluted and hard to read and in a digital format it translated even less but I know that many enjoy these books. I did learn about some new people and events but overall it was hard to maintain focus as so much is happening on each page and I felt I was just skimming or browsing the book rather than fully reading.

Infinite stars. This timelines covers the human race, as well as well known and little well known Black individuals. The graphics are absolutely amazing. I learned so much. It is a one sitting read that every family should own. Thank you for writing this. More history needs to be shared and absorbed.
