    “Book Descriptions: In a powerful, poetic missive, award-winning author-illustrator Maxine Beneba Clarke celebrates the meaning behind the words Black Lives Matter.

    Little one, when we say Black Lives Matter,
    we're saying Black people are wonderful-strong.
    That we deserve to be treated with basic respect,
    and that history's done us wrong. . . .

    Darling, when we sing that Black Lives Matter,
    and we're dancing through the streets,
    we're saying: fear will not destroy our joy,
    defiance in our feet.

    In this joyful exploration of the Black Lives Matter motto, a loving narrator relays to a young Black child the strength and resonance behind the words. In family life, through school and beyond, the refrains echo and gain in power, among vignettes of protests and scenes of ancestors creating music on djembe drums. With deeply saturated illustrations rendered in jewel tones, Maxine Beneba Clarke offers a gorgeous, moving, and essential picture book.”
