Description

Black is beautiful, uh-huh!

Long ago, Blackbird was once voted probably the most beautiful bird within the forest. The opposite birds, who were colored red, yellow, blue, and green, were so green with envy that they begged Blackbird to color their feathers with a touch of black so they might be beautiful too. Despite the fact that Black-bird warns them that true beauty comes from within, The opposite birds persist and soon each and every is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings — markings that detail birds to this very day.
Coretta Scott King Award-winner Ashley Bryan’s adaptation of a tale from the Ila-speaking people of Zambia reso-nates both with rhythm and the story’s universal meanings — appreciating one’s heritage and discovering the beauty within. His cut-paper artwork is a joy.
