Notes:
In When We Say Black Lives Matter, a black child's parents explain what the term Black Lives Matter means to them: in protest and song, in joy and in sorrow. Written from the perspective of a parent explaining to a little one, Maxine has crafted a story that is universal, pertinent to any country and every human being. It is a bold statement, as evidenced by the title of the book. Often children’s books soften the message but this book shouts out its message loud and clear. The narrator walks alongside the child, nurturing, declaiming and crying as she crystallises complex, often harrowing experiences into inclusive, comprehensible, rhythmic rhymes.
