When We Say Black Lives Matter
Maxine Beneba Clarke, illustrated by Maxine Beneba Clarke
A loving Black parent helps a young child understand the meaning and significance of Black Lives Matter. The story places that conversation in family life, school, and other everyday settings, while also looking to history and ancestors. Protest scenes and people making music on djembe drums appear alongside the refrain. The book holds hope, warmth, strength, anger, and joy together as the child encounters the movement’s message.
