Magnolia Flower

From beloved African American folklorist Zora Neale Hurston comes a moving adaptation by National Book Award winner and #1 New York Times bestselling author Ibram X. Kendi, titled Magnolia Flower. The story follows a young Afro Indigenous girl, Magnolia Flower, who longs for freedom amidst her heritage of parents who fled slavery and the Trail of Tears. With a spirit not deterred by the rigid ways of the world, she seeks connections with others who cherish freedom as well. Her journey is one of bravery, love, and radical devotion, beautifully illustrated by Loveis Wise. This adaptation retells Hurston's original 1925 folktale with poetic prose and a deep appreciation for the shared history and culture among Indigenous and Black people in America.
