Praise for A VOICE OF HOPE:
" The book also embodies Black Agency, Resistance, and Perseverance, highlighting Myrlie Evers-Williams's leadership and resilience in the face of systemic oppression. Through this inspiring narrative, readers of all ages learn that hope and determination are essential forces in the fight for justice."
--BCALA, SLJ - Winner, Children & Youth Literary Awards
* "Salomon’s lyrical prose makes some of the hard parts of Evers-Williams’s story easier to digest . . . [Ladd's illustrations] capture the despair and determination."
--The Horn Book, Starred Review
* "An utterly compelling narrative of a woman who was integral to the fight for Civil Rights and mostly overlooked by history. Colorful and engaging, it is a reminder of how much women sacrificed to fight for equality. " --School Library Journal, Starred Review
"A fitting and long-overdue tribute." --Booklist
"Salomon chronicles the life and developing voice of civil rights champion Myrlie Evers-Williams . . . Ladd’s distinctive collage bursts with life and color in this homage to a once-shy figure who fought for justice." --Publishers Weekly
"A stirring introduction to Myrlie Evers-Williams, a significant figure in the Civil Rights Movement. [S]trong and soaring." --Kirkus Reviews
"The biography of Mrs. Evers-Williams is beautifully written and the illustrations are amazing. This book is highly recommended for school and public libraries serving children and teens and to parents looking for outstanding nonfiction picture books for children." --Sherrie, School Librarian
