Heart and Soul by Kadir Nelson

 
On the Heavy Medal blog there is a mock Newbery vote.  I have been trying to read their 10 books even if we don't have them in the library yet.  This is one of the nominees.  This book is a history of African Americans in the U.S.  The narrator has a strong voice and follows his ancestors throughout U.S history highlighting the contributions and struggles of African Americans.  I found the book to be very informative and accurate without being bitter.  I will be ordering it for next year.
