In <em>Heart and Soul</em>, Kadir Nelson's stirring paintings and words grace 100-plus pages of a gorgeous picture book--a beautiful gift for readers of all ages, a treasure to share across generations at home or in the classroom.</strong></p><p><em>Heart and Soul</em> is about the men, women, and children who toiled in the hot sun picking cotton for their masters; it's about the America ripped in two by Jim Crow laws; it's about the brothers and sisters of all colors who rallied against those who would dare bar a child from an education. It's a story of discrimination and broken promises, determination, and triumphs.</p><p>Kadir Nelson's <em>Heart and Soul</em>--the winner of numerous awards, including the Coretta Scott King Author Award and Illustrator Honor, and the recipient of five starred reviews--is told through the unique point of view and intimate voice of a one-hundred-year-old African-American female narrator.</p><p>This inspiring book demonstrates that in striving for freedom and equal rights, African Americans help our country on the journey toward its promise of liberty and justice--the true heart and soul of our nation.</p><p><strong>The paperback edition also features eight pages of discussion and curriculum material.</strong></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>The story of America and African Americans is a story of hope and inspiration and unwavering courage.

He handles this vast subject with easy grace. [Nelson's] jaw-dropping portraits radiate determination and strength. A tremendous achievement.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>Nelson...adds to his notable titles with this powerful view of African American history. Illustrated with 44 full-page paintings, this handsome volume is told in the fictionalized, informal voice of an African American senior looking back on her life and remembering what her elders told her.--<em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>The dramatic oil paintings heighten the dignity of this story, whether they are of well-known historical figures, common folk or landscape...This intimate narrative makes the stories accessible to young readers and powerfully conveys how personal this history feels for many African-Americans.--<em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>Nelson effectively creates a voice that is at once singular and representative. A tour de force in the career of an author/artist who continues to outdo himself.--Horn Book <strong>(starred review)</strong> </br></br>Provocative and powerful, this book offers a much-needed perspective for individuals of all ages seeking to understand America's past and present.--School Library Journal <strong>(starred review)</strong>
