There Was a Party for Langston

New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jason Reynolds’s debut picture book is a snappy, joyous ode to Word King, literary genius, and glass-ceiling smasher Langston Hughes and the luminaries he inspired. The book celebrates a vibrant party where figures like Maya Angelou and Amiri Baraka recited poems at the Schomberg Library in Harlem, all in honor of Hughes's profound impact on literature. This book is also a Caldecott Honor Book, recognizing its excellence in children's literature.
