Here is an innovative exploration of the blues aesthetic that reflects the literary work created by Black authors and illustrators for the Black child reader. This book examines literature written for Black children, using critical and creative writings - by artists, scholars, and critics - that define the blues within Black "adult" literature, poetry, and the visual arts. The book identifies Black children's literature published in the past forty years by authors and illustrators who can be classified as blues artists, and whose work reflects social, political, economical, and historical developments of the Black experience throughout the United States. Referencing work created by Jacqueline Woodson, Walter Dean Myers, John Steptoe, Tom Feelings, Sherley Anne Williams, and others, this book demonstrates how the blues aesthetic now includes the literature dedicated to Black children.
«Nancy D. Tolson...has opened our eyes, in this timely and seminal work, to the tragedy of eliminating Black children's literature from most discussions on American literature and the impact of ignoring this element of literature as it relates to and reflects the lives and experiences of African American children. ...This research can and should be the platform for what should be an open forum on current discussions, panels, and much-needed progress in the writing, publication, and availability of new and much-needed works on, for, and about the experiences, hopes, and dreams of Black children.» (Andrew P. Jackson (Sekou Molefi Baako), Training, Development and Operations Consultant, Roosevelt Public Library; Executive Director, Langston Hughes Community Library and Cultural Center-Queens Library)
