Harlem Renaissance Party

I first came across this book in a local library. I wound up purchasing this book to gift to someone and their child. As a jazz fan, I really enjoyed reading it and I hope they do too.

Faith Ringgold is a literary giant! Her work is skillfully written and boasts beautiful, vivid, and vibrant illustrations that captures the essence of artists such as Langston Hughes, Augusta Savange, and political activist such as Marcus Garvey. Ringgold's book is a great way to introduce young readers to the important history of the contributions of the amazing African American men and women that were an integral part of the Harlem Renaissance.

Awesome book to celebrate our black communities and understand the important roles these ancestors played in shaping our story. As a Harlem resident, I feel proud to pass this to my kids and teach them to embrace our history and neighborhood

One of my favorite kid books! It is a great way to teach about the Harlem Renaissance in a fun way in which children can conceive.

It was clear and historically accurate

A good resource book.

It's ok...thought that it was an adult book...

Simply a wonderful overview of some of the personalities of the Harlem Renaissance, with bright, cheerful illustrations to engage children. Highlighting only the most non-controversial aspects from the lives of these creative black people, this book dwells on the positive, which is as it should be, in order to inspire kids to learn more.Love the illustrations! Love the mini-bios at the back. More books like this, please!
