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.
