I, Too, Am America

　　The poetic wisdom of Langston Hughes merges with visionary illustrations from Bryan Collier in this inspirational picture book that carries the promise of equality.

　　I, too, sing America.
　　I am the darker brother.
　　They send me to eat in the kitchen
　　When company comes,
　　But I laugh,
　　And eat well,
　　And grow strong.

　　Langston Hughes was a courageous voice of his time, and his authentic call for equality still rings true today. Beautiful paintings from Barack Obama illustrator Bryan Collier accompany and reinvent the celebrated lines of the poem “ I, Too, ” creating a breathtaking reminder to all Americans that we are united despite our differences.
