Love Is Loud: How Diane Nash Led the Civil Rights Movement by Sandra Neil Wallace

3.0

Wow I did not like the artwork in this. Some of Collier's spreads are beautiful but a lot of them have completely flat facial expressions that are off-putting. I also didn't like the text. I think the second person was meant to call back to the way Nash would eventually talk to young people while traveling/lecturing across the US but it felt precious as did the loose rhyming. A bit too long for the format and how text-heavy it was and the back matter almost felt more interesting as the actual text got so message-y. The feminist content is there and strong though.

Back matter includes author's note, illustrator's note, timeline, video interviews, for young readers, quote sources, and selected bibliography. Photo credits buried in the copyright page text.
