We Are Shining

Written by Gwendolyn Brooks, Illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist

This book is for every child, all over the world. It’s a poem to celebrate the many opportunities afforded to all, and the acceptance that we all deserve. This book was done in celebration of Ms. Brooks’ 100th birthday. The illustrations are brilliant and colorful. This book is a celebration of diversity and a hopefulness in our future.
