Five Starred Reviews
From an award-winning author and illustrator comes this picture book biography about beloved librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker, the first Black coordinator of children's services at all branches of the New York Public Library.
Before Augusta Braxton Baker became a storyteller, she was an excellent story listener. Her grandmother brought stories like Br'er Rabbit and Arthur and Excalibur to life, teaching young Augusta that when there's a will, there's always a way. When she grew up, Mrs. Baker began telling her own fantastical stories to children at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library in Harlem. But she noticed that there were hardly any books at the library featuring Black people in respectful, uplifting ways. Thus began her journey of championing books, writers, librarians, and teachers centering Black stories, educating and inspiring future acclaimed authors like Audre Lorde and James Baldwin along the way.
As Mrs. Baker herself put it: "Children of all ages want to hear stories. Select well, prepare well and then go forth and just tell."

Love the quality and matte black color
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Black
I love the color how it is not shiny and a matte black. This gives a modern look to any decor. It is very sturdy and attaches with six different screws. Great quality for the price.

Beautiful!

The sturdiness of these brackets and the quality are so good. I was worried due to other reviews I had read but these did not disappoint. They are beautiful and perfect length and weight. They are angles perfect for our shelves and a great value for as many as you get.
