We Wait for the Sun by Katie Mccabe
In the hour before dawn, we slip out of the house, and the midsummer night is dark and cool. As I follow the swish, swish of my grandmother’s skirts, I can smell the damp earth beneath my feet and feel the dewy air on my face. Moving through the darkness toward the woods where blackberries grow, I’m certain my Grandma Rachel and I are the only ones awake in the whole world. From civil rights trailblazer Dovey Johnson Roundtree comes a stunning picture book about a precious early-morning moment between her and her grandmother - the woman who taught her everything she knew about self-worth, strength, and justice. With vivid, vibrant illustrations from Raissa Figueroa, We Wait for the Sun is a resonant, beautiful story told through one exquisite page turn after another.
Katie McCabe is an Irish journalist working in London. She is the Events Editor at Time Out London and the former editor of Artists & Illustrators. Katie has written for Broadly, The Debrief and Little White Lies. She wants to take the muffled stories of under-appreciated women and blast them on high-fidelity speakers until the world listens.
