5Q 3P M J S In Hand in Hand, Pinkney presents profiles of ten very different African American men who have had a profound impact on American society and culture. She outlines the backgrounds and achievements of each man in ten chapters, complete with beautiful illustrations by Brian Pinkney and descriptive poetry to introduce each chapter. We learn about astronomer Benjamin Banneker, who corresponded frequently with Thomas Jefferson, arguing his case against slavery and the unfair treatment of black people. We are given a peek into W. E. B. Dubois's struggle to be accepted as a black man into the prestigious Harvard University and go on to form the NAACP. We gain insight into Barack Obama's roots as the son of a black man and white woman. Pinkney does an exceptional job of detailing the lives of minorities who struggled to be accepted in American society and succeeded in making a difference for minorities everywhere. She describes in the introduction how she selected the people to write about and that she kept it down to just ten so she could provide the reader with sufficient information and background. She begins each chapter with a description of the person's childhood and how he or she was raised. Writing the chapters this way provides a nice segue from each person's struggles to their eventual successes. Brian Pinkney's illustrations are beautifully rendered and add color and whimsy to a wonderful historical tribute. This is a must-have for every library and classroom.-Lindsay Grattan.-- VOYA
