★ “An exuberant and picturesque celebration of African American spirituals. . . airing beautifully with the well-chosen lyrics and Hudson’s rhythmic, affirming text, Ladd’s richly saturated mixed-media illustrations demonstrate the cultural and historical importance of these songs. . . A deeply resonant work that speaks to these songs’ historical—and present—meaning.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
★ “Hudson offers a history of spirituals’ development, from their African roots to the 2007 passage of a U.S. Congressional bill recognizing spirituals as “a national treasure.” A personal tribute to a beloved American art form.”—Booklist, Starred Review
