Publishers Weekly has given a starred review to Claudette Colvin: I Want Freedom Now! (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) by Claudette Colvin and Phillip Hoose, illustrated by Bea Jackson.
The review says “Vibrant illustrations from Jackson (Summer is Here) depict characters past and present with precision, from Colvin’s act (which occurred nine months before Rosa Park’s protest) to the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.
The book will be published in November, 2024.
