Description
Harlem's Little Blackbird: The Story of Florence Mills by Renée Watson is a book for children. However, many links for background knowledge are appropriate for mature readers, making this deceptively simple picture book a history lesson. Thank goodness Renée Watson appears at the Young Readers Center at the Library of Congress to talk about this book for the young readers. Christian Robinson's pictures welcome all ages.
The older reader may appreciate this book when given historical context. With context, the cakewalk is more than just silly dance. When a theater denies entrance to Negroes, mature readers will benefit from more context regarding the time of Jim Crow. Trigger warning: the documentary about Coney Island listed in the references includes the euthanizing of an elephant by electrocution. I found most websites about the Harlem Renaissance are for mature readers.
This book is read aloud online by Andrea Malek , the Oregon Symphony, and by the author, Renée Watson. Links are in the document.
This worksheet has 11 comprehension questions and multiple links for background knowledge.
