Lovely book This is a simple telling of a big life It makes me want to know about this woman and what really made her tick Ntozake uses poetry to tell his story The artwork is also stunning It feels overly simply and it it meant for young children K 3rd grade It starts out with Coretta having to walk 5 miles to get to her school while the white kids had a bus The injustice pops.The kids were into this story They have had several books on MLK so they put these two together quickly I saw people r [...]
Pictures by award winning illustrator Kadir Nelson.Text by poet Ntozake Shange Excellence I anticipated excellence.But perhaps poets are not the best authors of picture books I had trouble following the text and I m a grownup I had to think too much about the words on the page and it wasn t because they were so rich but because the writing wandered around so much I d hoped for powerful words, but I found them to be wobbly.The children thought the pictures were very realistic They were moved by t [...]
This lovely picture book with illustrations by Kadir Nelson putatively honors Coretta Scott, but I felt it was about her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr An afterward for adults is, however, focused on Coretta The book doesn t cover at all the period after King s assassination, when Coretta took on a leadership role, founding the Martin Luther King, Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, becoming an anti apartheid activist, campaigning against homophobia, and actively participating [...]
As always Kadir Nelson s work is just fantastic.
In a poem, Shange shares the story of Coretta Scott s upbringing during the times of segregation While reading this poem, students learn about Coretta Scott s story but they also are able to learn on build on background knowledge about this specific time period I enjoyed reading a non fiction text that tied in a piece of history as well as strong feelings about the meaning of the words freedom and determination One stanza that connects the readers emotions is, things nature never intended a chil [...]
I enjoyed, Coretta Scott, by Ntozke Shange I found that the text did not read like poetry, it read like a story I, personally, am not a fan of poetry I enjoyed this book because it was about a person in history and I do like the historical fiction genre I had never seen a book that was based on Coretta Scott, so it was interesting to read about the Civil Rights Movement, from a different perspective The illustrations by Kadir Nelson are rich, realistic and colorful Visually the book is amazing T [...]
I would probably rate this book closer to a 3 and 1 2 The pictures absolutely carry the book They are a five Kadir Nelson carried it and without him, the book would lose its impact Though I felt the verse strayed from its focus on Coretta Scott King several times Though one does get a sense that she fought prejudice and was a champion of freedom, it lacks in creating a complete picture of her The language is very mature, and the book is not one that can be left to children on their own Additiona [...]
Ok, I think I ve found either next year s Caldecott or Coretta Scott King Award book, or both Kadir Nelson s illustrations are breathtaking in this poetic account of the life of Coretta Scott King The opening spread, with the moon like an orange sliver by the treetops is gorgeous A page at the end of the book provides facts and details of her life This book has got to win something next year Highly recommended
This lovely illustrated book tells the story of a young girl, grown to woman, who always carried the possibility and light of freedom.Walking to school with her siblings, while the buses carrying white children passed by, Coretta knew in her heart that there had to be a better day coming.Meeting Martin Luther King, Jr solidified that feeling And both put words and feelings into actions.Lush illustrations and lovely text render this a book I ll purchase and read to my grandchildren.
The pictures are spectacular The story is not as centered on Coretta as I had hoped, but it is absolutely worth getting your hands on.
The text is awkward and difficult My kids replied huh Many times during this short book Good for awareness about Coretta Scott, but focused on the lyrical text than giving information.
This is a lovely, artistic book with beautiful pictures, and beautiful wordsbut lacks punctuation That made it tricky to read aloud I was a bit put off by it I also thought this was going to be a mini biography of Coretta Scott King as the title seems to imply , and while it sort of was some parts really wasn t after all More of a snippet of Coretta s childhoodrrying Dr Martin Luther King, Jrme general civil rights eventsd a song.Lovely, but not a stand alone resource We definitely need books t [...]

Older Picture Book I knew I d love the illustrations of the book, Coretta, because I am familiar with the illustrator, Kadir Nelson I find all his pictures to be inspiring and realistic I was right I was truly touched by many of the illustrations, particularly the one of Coretta as a young child with her siblings seeing the white school kids pass them by I felt as though Mr Nelson captured the feelings of injustice through their eyes I enjoyed how this story was told through poetry because it ma [...]

My personal reaction was wow she is one strong girl For example when she walks to school for many miles for her rights and beliefs shows her true character She is a true inspiration with her efforts to bring equality This would be a great read aloud to make a curricular connection about equality The students live in a world where they do not have to worry about equality In poem form we can break down as a class and interpret the civil rights movement.For an independent reading this would be for [...]

This book is a poem about the life of Coretta Scott King from when she was a little girl through her work in the Civil Rights Movement with her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr I was expecting this book to be extremely informative and provide a wealth of information about the life and work of Coretta Scott King However, because it is written as a poem, it makes it difficult to interpret or to add a lot of information I got information out of the author s note at the end than I did throughout the [...]
This is a poem about a woman, who was Martin Luther Kings wife, who fought for civil rights alongside her husband The story opens with her walking five miles to a Negro school and then later using her singing voice to put on concerts to spread awareness The back of the book has a page going in depth about her contributions and the happenings of the time period The illustrations are amazing The majority of the pages are up close paintings of faces that are so realistic and filled with emotion Th [...]
