Kwame Alexander is one of my must-read authors. And Kadir Nelson is an illustrator whose work I love. When the two work together to create a picture book, the result is amazing.
This picture book is beautiful. I would expect nothing less from both of these icons of children's literature.
Kwame Alexander's writing is always amazing, and the verses he writes in The Undefeated to share the message of perseverance, reminding readers of many African Americans who have contributed to achieving equality for all, are beautifully written. When paired with Nelson's amazing illustrations, the message in this book will be something you won't forget.
Kwame Alexander write an afterword worth reading, and there is a list of the historical figures and events are shared at the book's end as well.
This picture book belongs in every school library and teachers will find plenty to enjoy about using this as a read aloud.
