this book is def a childhood staple. my aunts used to send me books from college often as a kid. they influenced my reading preferences early. the stories were new and different than the literature I read in Catholic school. the illustrations are now reminiscent of the film, beloved… hamilton’s prose was contagious; rhythmic, honest and complex. stories upon stories of bold and mystical black women: epic. mini series anyone? #herstories #childrenbooks #virginiahamilton #africanamericanfolktales #corettascottkingawards #KIQ
