There Was a Party for Langston King O'Letters by Jason Reynolds illustrated by Jerome Pumphrey & Jarrett Pumphrey*

A Caldecott Honor AND A Coretta Scott King Illustrator Honor

Mr. Reynolds shares about a dance party in Schomburg Center in the Langston Hughes Auditorium in 1991. His name and influence are celebrated throughout the party AND in this book. I loved the illustrations (handmade stamps by brothers, Jerome & Jarrett). Their layout and design were clever and unique. The illustrations and the layout were my favorite aspect to this book-from the endpage to endpage! I smiled the whole time I read and viewed this book.

*Highly recommend for the illustrations.
