Free Kindle The ABCs Of Black History: A Children's Guide (Thompson Children's Guides) ebooks Download
Africa is where the first people were born. It has many resources, from diamonds to corn. The book is a bright-colored, quick rhyming journey through the lives of history makers: billionaire businessman Reginald Lewis, Harlem Renaissance novelist Zora Neale Hurston, entertainment powerhouse Oprah Winfrey, and others leap from the pages. Skip along with places, events, and inventions significant to the black experience. Craig Thompson tells their stories in kid-speak, with carefully chosen words that summarize their contributions. And the backdrop for his words is the toasty hues and primary colors of illustrator Roger James. This unique guide is finally in paperback.

I purchased this book for my 3 God-children and they all loved it. The lyrics are informative and detailed for each African American hero listed, yet they can be understood by children from ages 3-15. The art work is beautiful. It reminds me of some of the great murals you might see on the side of city buildings. The colors are bright and jump off the page. I can vision a teacher reading this book to their class during story time and having all the kids attention. Overall a great book.
My children (ages 5 and 1 1/2), and I love this book! Rarely has someone so consisely related African American History to children. It is easy to read and remember. The colors and artwork are appealing to children. I can't wait until the next ABC book comes out.Dr. Kimberly Turner
My daughter who is 11months old and I truly enjoy reading this book. She loves the eye-popping colors of the pictures and the rhymes, while I love the information provided (I learned something new when I read it the first time). Highly recommended!
Mr. Thompson,I am the Grants Coordinator for a mid-sized school district in Michigan. We serve a predominantly African American and low-income community. We are introducing an initiative to gift alphabet books to incoming Kindergarten and First Grade families, and would like to include your book as one of the alphabet books families can choose from. We would like to purchase a large quantity of your book, but cannot do so through typical vendors ( and Barnes And Noble), if you could please contact me, we would really love to be able to offer your alphabet book to the families in our community.Thank you.Ben Murphy-Smithbmurphysmith3@ycschools.us
Great way to introduce children to black history!!! Love that it rhymes. I read it to my 3 month old several times a week. And there's even a couple of figures in the book that were new to me.
This a good introduction book to share the Black history to your children. I wish the illustrated pictures were done a little better. But overall this is a good children's guide to Black History. Well done to Craig Thompson. We need more books like this available.
Beautiful colorful pictures and information that children of all ages, races and religions should know. I am very pleased with this book.
This book was okay, but I realized that it was too basic for my 6 year old. Also, there was some incorrect information within the book. For instance Tuskegee University was founded in 1881, however, the book listed a different year. Also, while this may not be big to some, I thought that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. should have been listed as such instead of Martin Luther King. I think he deserves the respect of having his name listed correctly.
