To us
it is just dirt,
the ground we walk on...
But to Dave
it was clay,
the plain and basic stuff
upon which he formed a life
as a slave nearly 200 years ago.
Dave was an extraordinary artist, poet, and potter living in South
Carolina in the 1800s. He combined his superb artistry with deeply
observant poetry, carved onto his pots, transcending the
limitations he faced as a slave. In this inspiring and lyrical
portrayal, National Book Award nominee Laban Carrick Hill's
elegantly simple text and award-winning artist Bryan Collier's
resplendent, earth-toned illustrations tell Dave's story, a story
rich in history, hope, and long-lasting beauty.

A truck rumbling by to deliver the mail, a silvery cart with hot
pretzels for sale, and stacks of brown packages hauled up the
stairs... Some shapes in the city are... on-the-go squares! City
Shapes is an ode to city life, depicted from the points of view of
a young girl walking through her neighborhood and a bird flying
high above, both spotting dazzling shapes in every scene they pass.
From the shimmering skyscrapers to the bustling marketplace, the
kites flying free in the sunlight to the stars shining bright at
night, everyday scenes become extraordinary. Diana Murray's playful
and poetic verse encourages readers to look for shapes everywhere,
noticing the hidden details in even the simplest of scenes around
them every day. And Bryan Collier's beautiful illustrations add
even more layers to the cityscapes, letting readers get immersed in
the hustle and bustle, culminating in a thrilling twist when the
girl looks through her kaleidoscope and sees the skyline in a
completely new way. A celebration of finding magic in scenes both
new and familiar, City Shapes has the potential to become a
classic.
"She had not sought this moment but she was ready for it. When the
policeman bent down to ask "Auntie, are you going to move?" all the
strength of all the people through all those many years joined in
her. She said, "No.""

evocative text combines with Bryan Collier's striking cut-paper
images to retell the story of this historic event from a wholly

A wonderful picture book introduction to a legendary American
writer
It's a special day when a little girl and her father go to visit
the house where the great poet Langston Hughes lived--especially
when the little girl is a poet herself
This rhythmic tale is a wonderful introduction to the work and
world of Langston Hughes, who was a central figure of the Harlem
Renaissance and an American cultural hero.
"An in-depth look at Ali's life through twelve rhyming poems. . . .
Collier's bold pictures are among the best of his illustrious
career."--BOOKLIST (starred review)
A Coretta Scott King Honor Book
A National Council for the Social Studies Notable Trade Book for
Young People
From the moment a fired-up teenager won 1960 Olympic gold to the
day when a retired legend, hands shaking from Parkinson's, returned
to raise the Olympic torch, the boxer known as "The Greatest" waged
many a fight. Some were in the ring, against opponents like Sonny
Liston and Joe Frazier; others were against societal prejudice and
a war he refused to support because of his Islamic faith. The
rap-inspired verse weaves and bobs and jabs, while bold collage
artwork matches every move--capturing the "Louisville loudmouth
with the great gift of rhyme" who shed the name Cassius Clay to
take on the world as Muhammad Ali.
