Great way to introduce Harlem! submitted by rsivaraj on July 27, 2014, 11:00pm This was a really great find and a very fun way to introduce Harlem, black culture, and historic figures to kids. The only criticism is that I wish the cover was different - the lady with a wink was a bit strange and doesn't do justice to the book which is otherwise filled with great illustrations.
