From the March/April 2023 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
2019 Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner Maxine Beneba Clarke talks about her latest picture book, When We Say Black Lives Matter.
Clarke (The Patchwork Bike, rev. 11/18) pens a love letter from parent to child. The title page depicts a pregnant Black woman with one hand on her belly and the other held by a Black man, presumably the child’s father. The vibrant colors and the positioning of their heads and hands give off a positive and affectionate feeling for the new baby.
