The title does a fabulous job of telling you what this poetry collection is about.
I learned so much from these poems and was glad to discover more information at the end. I had never heard of most of the people in the book. Bravo! would make a great jumping off point for a biography project.
This book flowed extremely well. I liked that Engle organized the poems by the birth year of the subject.
My favorite poems are First Friend, Let the Birds Live, Pura Belpre, Helping Wild Animals, and Brave Music.
The illustrations are gorgeous. Bright, colorful, and the portraits of the people are amazingly life like.
