God Bless the Child by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog Jr.
by Tahira
God Bless the Child is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book that is based on the song by Billie Holiday. The illustrations depict the migration of African Americans from the rural south to northern cities during the early 1900's. The book, like the song, exemplifies the spirit of hope and love so engrained in the black community.
