Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Created in partnership with Ebony Jr. , this Little Golden Book biography celebrates the life and legacy of singer, performer, and activist Harry Belafonte.

When Harry Belafonte was a little boy, he moved from Harlem, New York, to live with his grandmother in Jamaica. There, Harry fell in love with Calypso music. This was the seed that blossomed into a life dedicated to inspiring people through music. This moving biography chronicles his life and career-as an actor, a singer, and civil rights activist who sought to make a difference while encouraging people to treat each other with respect and kindness. Since 1945, Ebony magazine has shined a spotlight on the worlds of Black people in America and worldwide, telling their stories. Ebony Jr! was created in 1973 to give Black children a magazine that was all their own. The magazine included stories, comics, puzzles, and cartoons centering Black children. Its mission was to ignite a love of reading and a love of self in Black kids, and we're continuing that with our branded LGB program.

Ages 3-8.
