Stunning poetry and gorgeous illustrations introduce a new generation to the beloved literary icon Toni Morrison, by New York Times bestselling author Andrea Davis Pinkney and award-winning artist Daniel Minter.
From imaginative child to visionary storyteller, Toni Morrison was a fiercely inspiring writer that helped change the world.
