Unspoken
By Kwame Alexander
Illustrated by Dare Coulter
Following Coretta Scott King and Caldecott Award-winning The Undefeated, Kwame Alexander's new picture book tells the story of slavery, with mixed media art by award-winning muralist and sculptor Dare Coulter.
How do you tell a story that starts in Africa and ends in horror? About strength and pride and refusing to be broken? One that still hurts and still loves?
A powerfully moving, poetic exploration of the story of slavery: from Africa to the tall ships, from back-breaking work in a strange land to resilience and eventual emancipation, Kwame Alexander tells the story that's hard to hear. Told through the lens of a teacher speaking to their young pupils, and in multiple art styles from award-winning artist and sculptor Dare Coulter, the story of slavery becomes one that you can tell with the bravery to lift your voice. A must-read for all children and adults alike, and the perfect companion to Kwame Alexander's award-winning picture book The Undefeated.
