Black Boy, Rise

A bold anthem that celebrates the power and potential of young Black boys by the award-winning creative author Brynne Barnes.

From the celebrated author of Black Girl Rising and Colors of Me, this is a book to read, share, and cherish across generations.

Black Boy, Rise combines gorgeous, moving text filled with lyrical references to poets and writers whose voices have lifted and defined the Black experience, including Langston Hughes, Lucille Clifton, W. E. B. Du Bois, and James Weldon Johnson, that powerfully reflect the soul and gloriousness of Black boys in all their brilliance: the rich legacy of their past, the grit and grace of their present, and the divine promise of their future.

BLACK JOY: This dynamic anthem speaks directly to the need of families, educators, and young readers to see the full beauty, richness, and complexity of Black boys' experiences reflected in thoughtful, empowering children's literature that positively portrays and celebrates Black boyhood.

AFRICAN AMERICAN BOOKS FOR KIDS: For fans of All Because You Matter and Crown: An Ode to the Fresh Cut, Brynne Barnes brings a fresh spin with her rhythmic rhyming text that exhorts readers to 'Make beauty. Make joy. Make believe, and pretend. Make wonder. Makes wishes. Make magic begin.'
