Loved this one! Not only is it an empowering read about Black joy, accomplishments, and pride, but it also features many Black artists that came together to leave a piece of their own excellence by each contributing a spread in the story, *chef’s kiss*

Hey You is such a wonderful celebration. A celebration of life, of being Black - encompassing inspiration and self love, whilst deftly weaving in the tough conversations and always ending on a powerful, heart-felt note. Dapo Adeola's debut is going to change lives with his words and illustrations, and I love that he worked with 18 other illustrators to bring them to life. It was a very moving and uplifting read, and is going to mean so much to so many.

As an adult I LOVE this book, but I also struggle with books aimed at children that require the social, political, and historical background knowledge of adults. It might be a more useful jumping off point for discussion with an older child, maybe in late elementary or middle school, who has had a chance to absorb and contextualize that information.
