ABCs of Black History
ABCs of Black History | Rio Cortez
15 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
An alphabet book that presents key names, moments, and places in Black history with simple text lyrically written by poet Rio Cortez. This is an opportunity for children to learn their ABCs to the sound of words beyond apple, boy, and cat, and an opportunity for young thinkers to prepare for big ideas.

When I opened my #BlitsySwap box today, I noticed that you wrote your Litsy name @Chelleo how I didn‘t notice it before😳and me, asking who was my match when the box arrived😬🙄🤦🏽‍♀️I have a problem, I need a psychologist, eye doctor, neurologist?😂😂😂

I am posting a picture of this pretty, beautiful wrapping paper. I don‘t know how to do those collage pictures🤷🏽‍♀️Need another specialist to do that?😳🤣🤣🤣

Chelleo OMG, Gissy! I forgot to put a card in there and when I remembered to write it to send to you...it's still on my desk! :( 14mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love the paper!! 14mo
Gissy @Chelleo Don‘t worry, that had happened to me more than once because when I‘m packing I always leave the card until the end to place it in the box gently, and then what happen? I‘m already sending the package☺️But this our “electronic” card communication😃♥️ 14mo
Gissy @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yes, it so pretty the other one has different silhouette of women faces with different scarf hair ornaments (this is a direct no official translation😳sometimes my translations do not make any sense🤷🏽‍♀️) but they are beautiful 14mo

@Karisa Thank you so much for a lovely #Blitsy2022 box. Love the books you chose, all of them but I will like to read soon The Warmth of Other Suns! The print is beautiful😍need to frame it! The magnets are lovely with those powerful Matin Luther King quotes🙌The card was so pretty and I love the message inside. The chocolate arrived a little melted but I put them inside the fridge and..wow! They are delicious, melted in my mouth now😋Thank you😘

Gissy Did I say I like the chocolate🙃 I will need to run like 10 miles this week😆

Gissy @riversong153 Hi! How are you? I saw you received wonderful things too🤗 2y
riversong153 @Gissy I‘m good. Hanging in there. Needing a vacation from work that‘s for sure. I‘ve been so busy with work. Not much time for reading 😔 Otherwise really good. How about you? 2y
Gissy @Karisa Yes! Today I ate another piece of chocolate but I didn‘t feel bad because I ran 5 miles and swam 1,600 meters. I can eat more later because tomorrow are 12 miles. Excuses to eat more chocolate🤣 2y
Gissy @Chelleo Yes! I ran today and I can eat more chocolate today because I will run again tomorrow☺️ 2y
Karisa @Gissy You are an inspiration of health! 2y
Gissy @riversong153 I‘m good too. Oh no, so sad that you don‘t have much time to read but maybe audiobooks could be an alternative. But so nice to here from you!
😃

Anyone else want to answer? This could help for any swaps….

tokorowilliamwallace Socks! I like both mugs and tumbler, but also like to make a full pot for drive, trips, hikes/walks, days out on the town, too, so I always have tumblers at the ready. Why can I just imagine @puzzledbooks as a sock person, too? 2y

The rhymes can be harsh and the cadence is not constant. But then again this book was not meant necessarily as a read a loud but as a primer to begin Black history at an early age. To help the youngest of kids feel seen and heard. I loved this book for whats on the page, the front matter, and the further information in the back matter. Plus, the artwork is stunning.

Thank you to Workman Publishing for the ARC. This is the best ABC book I have seen in a long while. Each letter can contain multiple words, the illustrations are vibrant and beautiful, and the Terms and Figures section in the last pages enrich the book in a thoroughly satisfying way.
