Manufacturer’s note: Please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in the exact location to work, which may be hard for young children. Sound clips range in length, but are an average of 12 seconds long.

Being able to hear the voices of figures from Black History was treat and really brought them to life. Many times, students only read about history but being able to hear their voices made it more personal and more in-depth. This book is a triple threat! I highly recommend this book for everyone.”—Cicely Lewis, Read Woke, Inc., 2020 National School Librarian of the Year…a straightforward biographical packaging that challenges readers to hone their own voices.—Publishers WeeklyAdditional information
