Heart and Soul (Reprint) (Paperback) by Kadir Nelson

Heart and Soul is a powerful and moving picture book that tells the story of African-American history from Revolutionary-era slavery to the election of President Obama.

Through the unique point of view and intimate voice of a one-hundred-year-old African-American female narrator, this book shares the story of hope, inspiration, and unwavering courage of the men, women, and children who toiled in the hot sun picking cotton for their masters; it's about the America ripped in two by Jim Crow laws; it's about the brothers and sisters of all colors who rallied against those who would dare bar a child from an education.

With 44 full-page paintings, this handsome volume is a treasure to share across generations at home or in the classroom.

Don't miss out on this inspiring book that demonstrates how African Americans have helped our country on the journey toward its promise of liberty and justice - the true heart and soul of our nation.
