My Hands Sing the Blues: Romare Bearden's Childhood Journey

It's nice and short. Kids can easily relate to the story style and illustrations. Like the additional words about the author in the back of the book.

I was unfamiliar with this artist before reading this book. Now, I want to know more about him. The collages as illustrations are strikingly original and beautiful. And yes, the story really does read like the blues!! Thank you! I look forward to the other titles in this series.

The pictures are rich and colorful and the poem flows like a song. I enjoyed reading it to my children for bedtime. The soothing repetition really helped chill us all out

The illustrations are wonderful.

This book is wonderful for African American History Month. Great Artist

Beautiful and artful illustrated book as presented to my student. Book arrived with sliced cover, too late to return for new cover.

The book is great as a teaching tool for elementary art classes. My students remember Romare afterreading this book. We studied him for a month and this book really complimented all our lessons. The artworkis fantastic! The kids especially loved to hear their teacher read the train noises, they all giggled and wanted tohear it again:)

Fun and funky illustrations

This was an informative, very fun book that really captured the spirit of the blues whilst incorporating an art form that is unfortunately being lost in some ways. It was amazing to see the strength a patchwork painting can have.

Lovely book for both adults and children to understand the life of Romare Bearden and what he went through during his time growing up and then as an adult

I must say a bit oring
