An apple for Harriet Tubman: Illustrations enhance concrete details and convey the courage and triumph of this remarkable American, beginning with her harsh childhood of slavery, escape to freedom, pivotal role in the Underground Railroad, and through into old ageBenny Goodman & Teddy Wilson: Teddy Wilson and Benny Goodman broke the color barrier in entertainment when they formed the Benny Goodman Trio with Gene Krupa. This lush and lyrical picture book tells the story of how two musical prodigies from very different backgrounds--one a young black boy growing up in Tuskegee, Alabama, the other the son of struggling Russian-Jewish immigrants from the West Side of Chicago--were brought together by their love of music, and helped create the jazz style known as swingMuddy: The celebration of the indomitable blues musician whose fierce, electric sound laid the groundwork for rock n' roll is a story of struggle, determination, and hopeThe cart that carried Martin: A unique retelling of Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral, focusing on the cart used to transport his coffin through the streets of Atlanta, Georgia, from Ebenezer Baptist Church to Morehouse College. The text also features the large number of people who walked the funeral route and were buoyed by MLK's positive influence, as well as Ada and Belle, the mules that pulled the cartCrown: An ode to the fresh cut: The barbershop is where the magic happens in this rhythmic celebration of the self-esteem, confidence, and swagger boys feel when they leave the barber's chair!A dance like starlight: Little ballerinas dream of pirouettes and grand jetes, of attending the best ballet schools and of dancing starring roles on stage. But in Harlem in the 1950s, dreams don't always come true; they take a lot of work. And sometimes hope is hard to come by. But the first African-American prima ballerina, Janet Collins, did make her dreams come true. And those dreams inspired ballerinas everywhere, showing them that the color of their skin couldn't stop them from becoming a star
