Red is a rainbow colour. \n Green sits next to blue. \n Yellow, orange, violet, indigo, \n They are rainbow colours, too, but \n \n My color is black . . . \n And there's no BLACK in rainbows. \n \n From the wheels of a bicycle to the robe on Thurgood Marshall's back, Black surrounds our lives. It is a colour to simply describe some of our favourite things, but it also evokes a deeper sentiment about the incredible people who helped change the world and a community that continues to grow and thrive. \n \n Stunningly illustrated by Caldecott Honoree and Coretta Scott King Award winner Ekua Holmes, Black Is a Rainbow Color is a sweeping celebration told through debut author Angela Joy's rhythmically captivating and unforgettable words. \n
