The Blacker the Berry
The Blacker the Berry | Joyce Carol Thomas
1 post | 3 read
We are color struck The way an artist strikes His canvas with his brush of many hues Look closely at these mirrors these palettes of skin Each color is rich in its own right Black is dazzling and distinctive, like toasted wheat berry bread; snowberries in the fall; rich, red cranberries; and the bronzed last leaves of summer. In this lyrical and luminous collection, Coretta Scott King honorees Joyce Carol Thomas and Floyd Cooper celebrate these many shades of black beautifully.

A stunning way to sneak poetry into storytime. The book is big and on most pages, the illustrations are a two-page spread. Colors and food vocab used throughout. Both are popular topics with kids of any background. If you're looking for more #blackjoy books, this is a must-read. Joyce's words and Floyd's paintings radiate emotions and thoughtfulness. #dw2020reads
