This classic collection of poetry from Pulitizer Prize–winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks is now in paperback!

In 1956, Gwendolyn Brooks created thirty-four poems that celebrated the joy, beauty, imagination, and freedom of childhood. Bronzeville Boys and Girls reminds us that whether we live in the Bronzeville section of Chicago—or any other neighborhood–childhood is universal in its richness of emotions and new experiences.

This full-color edition illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Faith Ringgold.

Suitable for ages 4 to 8. 
 

Gwendolyn Brooks (1917—2000) is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Annie Allen and one of the most celebrated Black poets. She also served as consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress—the first Black woman to hold that position. She was the poet laureate for the state of Illinois for over thirty years, a National Women’s Hall of Fame inductee, and the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

An award-winning artist internationally renowned for her painted story quilts, Faith Ringgold is also the author of thirteen children's picture books, including the 1992 Caldecott Honor Award-winning Tar Beach.
