Recenzii

'Clap Your Hands uses poetry to chronicle the lineage of gospel music in America, beginning withthe celebration of music and deities on the African continent prior to enslavement and concludingwith the modern-day gospel. Each double-page spread spotlights a distinct era in time. Thepoem is the centerpiece of each spread, while vibrant watercolor illustrations depicting beautifulmosaics of gospel-singing Black people are eye catchers as well. Though visually appealing, thistitle would be better aimed toward middle-grade readers, given the many text-heavy features,such as captions summarizing each era and a running time-line banner of major events inAfrican American history. A Where's Waldo --type figure hidden within each illustration is a funvisual element. Though rich with history, the poetry tends to fall flat with predictable sing-songrhymes, but nevertheless, this is a necessary title documenting a segment of American historythat is often untold in books for young people. Despite the minor shortcomings here, readers willstill revel in having learned how gospel has influenced our nation today.' -- Booklist, Feb. 7, 2020, Melanie Kirkwood
'Spirited, poetic text and vivid, energetic illustrations brimming with Christian symbolism bring glory to God in this children's picture book celebrates gospel music.Young readers are encouraged to 'Clap your hands to the rhythm. / Clap your hands to the rhythm of Africa. / . . . to the rhythm of a New World . . . / . . . to the rhythm of Plantation Sundays... / . . . to the rhythm of gospel women,' and more. Some rhythms proclaim joy and thanksgiving; others shout out pain and humiliation.Throughout Clap Your Hands, children are introduced to individual singers, composers, and groups who put their stamp on gospel music. They will learn how singing spirituals and gospel music helped African-Americans, enslaved and free, to rise above their trials and to claim lives of dignity.A detailed timeline of events pertaining to African-American history accompanies each poem and illustration. Though recommended for children ages 4-8, the book is better suited for children 8 and older.' -- The Banner, April 28, 2020
