So wild and imaginative, and the illustrations are amazing.

As expected, this book is a thing of beauty.

Yes x 1000.

Simple, rhyming text and gorgeous, expressive illustrations. Gives an introduction to Congo Square in New Orleans, where many African-American slaves were able to gather on Sunday afternoons to communicate, share music, and participate in traditions from their homes in Africa.

So trippy and amazing! There's not much of a story line, but the artwork is mind boggling.

No words necessary.

This part about Vola trying to remember who she was just killed me. (Page 126)
