Hip Hop Speaks to Children: A Celebration of Poetry With A Beat

Here is a foot-stomping collection of poetry that can serve as a powerful mirror for children. Here is pride and fun and energy and history all wrapped up in a book. There's a CD included so you can hear how the poets intended their poetry to sound. The collection is edited by the inimitable Nikki Giovanni and includes poetry from African American names our children know and some they need to learn about.
