Black Child
A compassionate, haunting collection of poetry celebrates "the beauty and promise of the children." The poems and black-and-white portraits of children in the United States, Ghana, Guyana, and Senegal express innocence and angst in the face of an uncertain, perhaps hostile future. ©1981 Cooperative Children's Book Center
