Clap Your Hands: A Celebration of Gospel by Toyomi Igus

4.0

Clap Your Hands: A Celebration of Gospel is a beautiful picture book featuring vibrant illustrations of moments in African American History and in particular, the history of gospel music. The text is comprised of poetry by Toyomi Igus highlighting different eras of gospel music history. The book also has a timeline running throughout that shows significant moments in African American History.

This is a great book if you are looking to educate your child or yourself about gospel music. I also like that it included a list of recommended music at the end of the book. This book is good for 4th grade or older. There is a lot of information in this book and it might be best to go through it an era at a time so that you can discuss the history of that era and perhaps listen to some of the recommended tracks.

I received a review copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
