America, My Love, America, My Heart

This picture book addresses America through questions voiced by Black and brown children. It asks whether America values the ways they speak, act, raise their voices, and live in Black and brown bodies. The children’s questions consider belonging, acceptance, and prejudice, while the book also insists on their connection to America. Images show children with a range of Black and brown skin tones. The narrative invites reflection on how people’s experiences of America can differ, and on whether all people are welcomed without bias.
