Young, Gifted and Black: Meet 52 Black Heroes from Past<\/em> by Jamia Wilson and illustrated by Andrea Pippinsis is a middle grade title that celebrates the lives of visionaries who also happen to be people of color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Author Jamia Wilson has gathered the stories of 52 amazing people and condensed them into must-read single page summaries. Readers will learn about astronauts, athletes, entertainers, mathematicians, poets, and a president.<\/p>\n

Although Wilson celebrates each person\u2019s triumphs, she also doesn\u2019t shy away from each person\u2019s struggles. For example, both Stevie Wonder and Sidney Poitier were born prematurely, which caused Stevie Wonder to lose his sight. Madame C. J. Walker lost her parents when she was seven. When children read how others overcame challenges to become successful, hopefully they will be inspired to keep trying and dream big for themselves, too.<\/p>\n

Andrea Pippinsis\u2019s illustrations are so vibrant. They capture the energy and vitality of these strong personalities with bold lines and shapes that suggest movement.<\/p>\n

Young, Gifted and Black<\/em> is a perfect choice for both Black and Women\u2019s History Months. Pick up a copy and inspire a child today.<\/p>\n
