Brown Angels: An Album of Pictures and Verse by Walter Dean Myers

hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

 This children’s book reminds me of looking through a family photo album.  The book contains sepia and black and white photos of brown children from the early 20th centuries.  They are photos Walter Dean Myers collected during his lifetime. 

The photos inspired he poems Myers pens for the book.  This is an excellent book to start conversations about family history, Black history and poetry. 

I will return to this book again!
