Description: A complement to The New York Times’ “1619 Project”, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson share a powerful exploration of the origins of American identity and the lingering impact it’s had on society. Nikkolas Smith’s illustrations on their own are noteworthy — when paired with Hannah-Jones and Watson’s poetry, they become groundbreaking. We haven’t seen a project like this before and it’s unlikely to see one in the future. The 1619 Project’s lyrical picture book in verse chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States, thoughtfully rendered by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones and Newbery honor-winning author Renée Watson. A young student receives a family tree assignment in school, but she can only trace back three generations. Grandma gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by white slave traders.But before that, they had a home, a land, a language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water survived. And the people planted dreams and hope,willed themselves to keepliving, living. And the people learned new wordsfor lovefor friendfor familyfor joyfor growfor home. With powerful verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the origins of American identity. 100% AuthenticBrand new; unreadHand Signed by Nikkolas Smith (Illustrator)Inscribed "With Liberty And..."American Flag DoodleDated 2021First EditionFirst PrintingIllustratedSpecially Designed EndpapersHardcoverDust Jacket Printed in the United StatesPublisher: Penguin Young Readers GroupComes from a smoke-free and pet-free home*Will be carefully packed and shipped in a box with a tracking number Thank you for looking!Price is firm.
