The Newbery Award-winning author of THE CROSSOVER pens an ode to black American triumph and tribulation, with art from a two-time Caldecott Honoree.

Originally performed for ESPN's The Undefeated, this poem is a love letter to black life in the United States. It highlights the unspeakable trauma of slavery, the faith and fire of the civil rights movement, and the grit, passion, and perseverance of some of the world's greatest heroes. The text is also peppered with references to the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and others, offering deeper insights into the accomplishments of the past, while bringing stark attention to the endurance and spirit of those surviving and thriving in the present. Robust back matter at the end provides valuable historical context and additional detail for those wishing to learn more.

Quick answers:

What is an overstock book?

Overstock happens when publishers print too many copies, or when a store returns books back to the publisher. Overstock allows us to offer splendid titles at a fraction of the retail cost!

What condition are overstock books in?

Overstock books are new books! They sometimes have a small mark to indicate that they've been remaindered. Other times, they might exhibit signs of shelf wear, like mild scuffs or leftover retail stickers. If we receive a book that isn't in good condition, we set it aside and don't sell it.

Do you accept returns?

All our books come with a money back guarantee. If for any reason you aren't happy with your purchase, just let Nicholle know (help@bushelandpeckbooks.com) and she'll issue you a full refund. No need to mail books back, either! Just donate them to a good cause and we'll call it even :)

How long do books take to ship?

Orders usually ship in 1 business day but can take up to 10 business days if we're waiting on incoming stock. We'll get your books to you as quickly as we can!
