About this item
This powerful and uplifting picture book redefines how African American history is introduced to young readers.
Four starred reviews: "A truly powerful perspective shift."* I "Joyous."** I "Outstanding.""*** I "A strikingly worthy introduction of 400 years of Black history to young readers."****
Beginning in Africa before 1619, this beautifully illustrated narrative honors the strength, resilience, and brilliance of enslaved ancestors—offering young people a proud and empowering foundation for understanding their heritage.
Author Schele Williams and illustrator Tonya Engel guide readers through centuries of courage and survival, celebrating the extraordinary legacy passed down through generations. With poetic language and evocative art, the book reframes history not as a story of victimhood, but as a testament to perseverance, dignity, and cultural richness.
Perfect for classrooms, family reading, and community discussions, Your Legacy invites children to see themselves as part of a lineage of strength and possibility. It’s a bold reclaiming of the past—and a hopeful vision for the future.
Youn ancestors passed down the best of themselves—that is your legacy.
