How we now need "Yes We Can" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taken from the wonderful spiritual song learned by so many of us when we were young, Nelson accompanies the words with beautiful images. This illustrator never disappoints. His talent is incredible and manifested in this book in a supreme way. Highlighting the diversity of our world, Nelson reinforces the multicultural universe we should embrace.
Coming away after reading I remembered learning this song when I was attending Sunday School, most likely aged six or seven. It was such a treat to have the spiritual come alive and the images felt like they jumped right off the page and into a beautiful field of wonderful diversity.
Highly recommended.… (plus d'informations)

Now on to the text: I love that Nelson took over 400 years of history and told the story in under 100 pages. To sit and read this book in one go feels like the entire history of this country is flashing before your eyes. The scope of it is awesome.
Of course, you can't really squeeze the whole "Story of America and African Americans" into 100 pages, can you? Not without leaving the reader feeling a little dizzy. And that's where I think the text runs into trouble. You have to skip over big stuff, and not really explain most things to satisfaction. It can be a little confusing and it has some bumpy transitions. Despite my complaints, the overall impact of the book is impressive.… (plus d'informations)
