I, Too, Am America | Langston Hughes
1 post | 4 read | 2 to read
Winner of the Coretta Scott King illustrator award, "I, Too, Am America "blends the poetic wisdom of Langston Hughes with visionary illustrations from Bryan Collier in this inspirational picture book that carries the promise of equality. "I, too, sing America.I am the darker brother.They send me to eat in the kitchenWhen company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong." Langston Hughes was a courageous voice of his time, and his authentic call for equality still rings true today. Beautiful paintings from Barack Obama illustrator Bryan Collier accompany and reinvent the celebrated lines of the poem "I, Too," creating a breathtaking reminder to all Americans that we are united despite our differences. This picture book of Langston Hughes s celebrated poem, "I, Too, Am America," is also a Common Core Text Exemplar for Poetry."

Stunning illustrations bring this classic, short poem to life in way that emphasizes both endurance & hope. A perfect read for African-American history month (and anytime you want to remember & honor African-Americans' struggle for equality). My son likes the pictures. #kidsbooks #illustrations #poetry #inspiration #diversebooks
