In this powerfully written and beautifully illustrated picture book
by award-winning author and illustrator team Carole Boston
Weatherford and E. B. Lewis, Mother Africa addresses her offspring
of all colours in all corners of the earth, reminding us of our
timeless bond. Written in the voice of Mother Africa, who speaks to
her children-human beings-this stunning picture book thrums with
the love between mother and child as it celebrates humanity's
common roots. Before words or tools or fire, Mother Africa's caves
sheltered us and her forests fed us. She could not protect us from
all dangers, but, like mothers everywhere, she gave her children
all she could and sent us into the world with confidence and love.
Told in the ringing, singing language of a creation story, this
book is a love letter from mother to child that honors our shared
history. Includes back matter with nonfiction information about
human evolution and about the migration of Homo sapiens from Africa
around the globe.

A powerful portrait of a Black family tree shaped by enslavement
and freedom, rendered in searing poems by acclaimed author Carole
Boston Weatherford and stunning art by her son Jeffery Boston
Weatherford. I call their names: Abram Alice Amey Arianna Antiqua I
call their names: Isaac Jake James Jenny Jim Every last one,
property of the Lloyds, the state’s preeminent enslavers. Every
last one, with a mind of their own and a story that ain’t yet
been told. Till now. Carole and Jeffery Boston Weatherford’s
ancestors are among the founders of Maryland. Their family history
there extends more than three hundred years, but as with the
genealogical searches of many African Americans with roots in
slavery, their family tree can only be traced back five generations
before going dark. And so from scraps of history, Carole and
Jeffery have conjured the voices of their kin, creating an often
painful but ultimately empowering story of who their people were in
a breathtaking book that is at once deeply personal yet all too
universal. Carole’s poems capture voices ranging from her
ancestors to Frederick Douglass to Harriet Tubman to the plantation
house and land itself that connects them all, and Jeffery’s
evocative illustrations help carry the story from the first mention
of a forebear listed as property in a 1781 ledger to he and his
mother’s homegoing trip to Africa in 2016. Shaped by loss,
erasure, and ultimate reclamation, this is the story of not only
Carole and Jeffery’s family, but of countless other Black
families in America.

Eleanora. The world, however, would know her as Billie Holliday,
possibly one of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Eleanora's

the law. By the time she was fifteen, she knew she possessed
something that could change her life - a voice. Eleanora could
sing! Her remarkable voice led her to a place in the spotlight with
some of the era's hottest big bands. Billie Holliday sang as if she
lived each lyric and in many ways she had.Through a sequence of raw
and poignant poems, award-winning poet, Carole Boston Weatherford
chronicles Eleanora Fagan's metamorphosis into Billie Holliday and
the dream she pursued with passion.
