S H: Bought for my Grand!!

Rachel E: I'm turning into my mom. This is what every Black American with children in the home should have besides other books, a gem maker, and a National Geographic telescope for our younger generation. Something educational and electronic. I bought this book for my twin cousins, future doctor and scientist, for Black History Month. This book is amazing! I visited and read a couple. My auntie won't stop talking about how they love learning about, as they say "brown girls and boys just like them" -- doing amazing things. Great purchase. Helps with their reading too. Biographies are thorough. Thank you.

Daffodil: The author did a masterful job with this book! It's written in clear, concise, easily understood language. Although it was purchased for my 10 year old grandson, I read it and did not want to put it down. I learned so much and enjoyed doing so. It was wonderful that the heroes were from around the world and their histories spanned from ancient times to the present. Since I purchased this book for my grandson, I am going to give it to him but before it leaves my hands, I'm going to make sure that I order at least one more copy to keep for myself and perhaps several more copies to give to other children and their parents. If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I definitely would.

Kindle Customer: I liked this book because it gave short overviews of African Americans who are
part of American history. I am glad it is available to parents and educators who are trying to fill in the gaps in textbooks of American History.

Marva BrazelMarva Brazel: Very informative. It is a good preparation for children. It is a good preparation for black children so that they can have an understanding of those who pave the way for us

Lin7: My 7 year old loved reading this. He reads it independently so it is accessible to younger children and adults alike. Enough detail and illustrations. Its so great to see positive representation of people of colour especially for young children. I also used this to teach my Reception class about Mansa Musa and celebrate pre colonial black history.

Christelle B: After finishing yesterday Bedtime Stories: 50 amazing Black people who changed the world, I was very interested in reading this one as, although there were several similar names in both, this one had a few more.

This book is certainly aimed at older children/teenagers, in the way it addresses the reader. It will definitely make children want to know more about these heroes, make them believe in themselves and think that anything is possible if they put their mind to it.

I also like the quotes at the end of each person's biography.

This book should be read by/to all children.

kat: I love the content of this book. The history is kept simple and to a nice length (around two sides of reading) so my children can read about one person and discuss with ease. I adore the layout - it's is exactly what I was looking for with a large colourful picture taking up a whole page which captures the kids' interest before they start reading. The book is in chronological order which makes it easy for me to incorporate with the school history curriculum and, again, the pictures help to put each hero in their historical context at first glance. The only downside I would say is that this book deserves a much better quality print. It's the type of book I'd like to keep on the bookshelf for years but unfortunately, it appears to be printed cheaply. I hate to say this because I really do love this book, i just think it deserves that extra bit of care. Thank you.
