Honor Black History Month with We March

Every February our communities focus on a very important part of our nation's past during Black History Month. So I'm taking a cue from our schools and continuing the discussion about civil rights at home. Our pick to get the conversations rolling with your kids: We March by Shane W. Evans.

 

In We March, author Shane W. Evans embraces the challenge of explaining Civil Rights and the historic March on Washington to young readers. For a picture book, it is dramatic and powerful, with expressive illustrations that are so expressive that they could almost tell the story all by themselves. I really was surprised and impressed how well he was able to convey the emotion behind the subject in a way today's kids could understand.  

If you are looking to open up some dialogue at home for children about the Civil Rights Movement, this is a wonderful way to introduce the subject. -Stephanie M
