You Are My Pride: A Love Letter from Your Motherland [9781635923872]

Overview

In this powerfully written and beautifully illustrated picture book by Children's Literature Legacy Award winner Carole Boston Weatherford and multi-award winning illustrator E. B. Lewis, Mother Africa addresses her offspring of all colors in all corners of the earth, reminding us of our timeless bond.

Written in the voice of Mother Africa, who speaks to her children—human beings—this stunning picture book thrums with the love between mother and child as it celebrates humanity’s common roots.

Before words or tools or fire, Mother Africa’s caves sheltered us and her forests fed us. She could not protect us from all dangers, but, like mothers everywhere, she gave her children all she could and sent us into the world with confidence and love. Told in the ringing, singing language of a creation story, this book is a love letter from mother to child that honors our shared history.

Includes back matter with nonfiction information about human evolution and about the migration of Homo sapiens from Africa around the globe.
