Beautiful Blackbird -- Ashley Bryan, Board Book

Coretta Scott King Award-winning creator Ashley Bryan's adaptation of a tale from the Ila-speaking people of Zambia is now available in board book format, featuring Bryan's cut-paper artwork.

We'll see the difference a touch of black can make. Just remember, whatever I do, I'll be me and you'll be you.

Explore the appreciation of one's own heritage and beauty. In this story, the colorful birds of Africa ask Blackbird, who they think is the most beautiful of birds, to color them black so they can be beautiful too, though Blackbird reminds them that true beauty comes from the inside.
