In case you missed SLJ writer, Rick Margolis’s, Places in the Heart: Celebrating Black History Month, CLICK HERE. He’s right when he opens the article with, “Talk about hitting the lottery.”

It had to be a book that they truly loved—and, of course, it couldn’t be one of their own.” (Rick Margolis, School Library Journal)
Take a look and I am sure you will agree.
