An excellent addition to any school or library bookshelf, Who Are Your People is an uplifting tool for understanding how collective past and ancestry help shape the experiences of today.  The writing is geared toward smaller children but older kids might be interested as well and might enjoy recognizing the figures who appear in the illustrations. The book is inclusive and gentle while not shying away from the difficult experiences of Black Americans. It ends on beautiful note, with a multi-generational family picnic and images of dreams, love, and support  for children.
