Pros
Angela Chester was written her detail feelings about this book, she even rated it into five stars. She described this book was presented from the POV of the grandmother to the grandchildren. She thought this was brilliant, not just because she was an elder, instead, because many times we'll accept information from someone other than mom and dad with a different authority and tone. She added just enough information to make it a lesson (Black people invented the refrigerator, air conditioner, and traffic light) without it being boring or too overwhelming for not only the young person reading (or listening to the story) but for the reader (adult) as well. It's fun and informative. The colors used in the illustration are eye-catching but not overly bright. Fun children colors without looking silly at the same time. The best part about the illustrations is that the characters look like real people. They were not exaggerated or look like dark versions of other races, they looked like beautiful Black children. She would suggest this book to everyone she knew that services Black children. She applaud everyone on this project. [3] Retrieved January 25th, 2021
