Non-Fiction Biography
HAND IN HAND presents the stories of ten men from different
eras in American history, organized chronologically to
provide a scope from slavery to the modern day. The stories
are accessible, fully-drawn narratives offering the
subjects’ childhood influences, the time and place in which
they lived, their accomplishments and motivations, and the
legacies they left for future generations as links in the
“freedom chain.” This book will be the definitive family
volume on the subject, punctuated with dynamic full
color portraits and spot illustrations by two-time Caldecott
Honor winner and multiple Coretta Scott King Book Award
recipient Brian Pinkney. Backmatter includes a civil
rights timeline, sources, and further
reading.
