Review:

"Nelson's jacket portrait, monumental and tender at the same time, sets the tone for this intimate picture biography. Shange's rhythmic lines and formal syntax roll like waves carrying readers on a soul-stirring ride through Coretta's coming of age in the Civil Rights Movement."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Poet and painter have joined forces to offer an indelible, emotional expression of the strength, beauty, and joy of one woman's character."--Booklist (starred review)

"Poetic language paired with powerful images make this biography/history of the Civil Rights Movement a moving, provacative read-aloud. Every library will want copies of this lyrical tribute to an elegant woman and the era she represents."--School Library Journal (starred review)
