Black is more than a color on a page. It is the shade of a bicycle tire, the robe worn by Thurgood Marshall, and the beauty of a people whose history keeps shining forward.
In this lyrical picture book, a child notices that black is missing from the rainbow, then discovers how deeply it belongs in everyday life, family memory, culture, courage, and pride. Angela Joy’s rhythmic words invite you to listen closely, while Ekua Holmes’s vibrant art fills each page with movement and meaning.
Warm, powerful, and full of wonder, this is a celebration of Black history, Black culture, and the joy of knowing where you come from.
