The Blurb On The Back:

Little one, when we say Black Lives Matter,
We’re saying Black people are wonderful-strong.
That we deserve to be treated with basic respect,
And that history’s done us wrong.

Explore the meaning of the Black Lives Matter movement - and the incredible power of speaking out - with award-winning author Maxine Beneba Clarke.


The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Maxine Beneba Clarke’s beautifully self-illustrated picture book for children aged 5+ is a simple but lyrical and powerful explanation of why the Black Lives Matter movement exists and what it stands for together with the historic and systematic wrongs suffered by black people. It’s done in a way that young children can follow and understand what it’s about while also feeling hope for the future.

WHEN WE SAY BLACK LIVES MATTER was released in the United Kingdom on 24th June 2021. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
