Jimmy's Rhythm and Blues - The Extraordinary Life of James Baldwin

Celebrate James Baldwin's 100th birthday anniversary with the first-ever picture book biography of this legendary writer, orator, activity, and intellectual. Before he became a legendary writer, James "Jimmy" Baldwin was a young boy from Harlem, New York, who loved stories. He found joy in the rhythm of music, family, and books. But Jimmy also found the blues, as a Black man living in America. When he discovered the written word, he discovered true power. Writing gave him a voice. And that voice opened the world to Jimmy. From the publication of the groundbreaking collection of essays The Fire Next Time to his passionate demonstrations during the civil rights movement, Jimmy used his voice fearlessly. Michelle Meadows, author of Brave Ballerina and Flying High, introduces young readers to the great American novelist, essayist, poet, playwright, orator, and artist James Baldwin who, with the fire of his pen, dared a nation to dream of a more equitable world filled with love. Brought to life with vivid and striking illustrations by Jamiel Law, Jimmy's Rhythm and Blues chronicles the life of an incredible visionary who left an indelible mark on American literature and history.
