Multiple starred reviews greeted this amazing collaboration betweenNtozake Shange and Kadir Nelson. AsBooklistput it:Poet and painter have joined forces to offer an indelible, emotional expression of the strength, beauty, and joy of one womans character.

Celebrated poet and playwright Ntozake Shange captures the spirit of Civil Rights pioneer Coretta Scott King in this picture book biography gorgeously illustrated by Caldecott Medal artist Kadir Nelson.

Walking many miles to school in the dusty road, young Coretta Scott knew the unfairness of life in the segregated south. A yearning for equality began to grow.

Together with Martin Luther King, Jr., she helped lead change through nonviolent protest. It was the beginning of a journeywith dreams of freedom for all.
