Description

A child reflects on the meaning of being Black in this moving and powerful anthem about a people, a culture, a history, and a legacy that lives on. The book titled 'Black Is a Rainbow Color' explores the significance of the color black, which is not found in traditional rainbows, and how it represents more than just a color – it embodies the spirit and contributions of the Black community. Through the eyes of a child, the story connects everyday objects and notable figures, such as Thurgood Marshall, to the deeper meanings of the color black. Illustrated by Ekua Holmes, this book provides a sweeping celebration of Black culture, history, and legacy through engaging illustrations and rhythmic words by debut author Angela Joy.
