Brown Angels: An Album of Pictures and Verse
Walter Dean Myers
(Author)
Description
The book you are holding was born in the dusty corner of an antique shop where the old photographs are kept. Walter Dean Myers has been collecting turn-of-the-century photographs of African-American children for some time, and his fascination with these intimate portraits compelled him to gather them into an album and share them with us.
