He's Got the Whole World in His Hands by Kadir Nelson

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands by Kadir Nelson

What began as a spiritual has developed into one of America's best-known songs, and now for the first time it appears as a picture book, masterfully created by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson.Through sublime landscapes and warm images of a boy and his family, Kadir has created a dazzling, intimate interpretation, one that rejoices in the connectedness of people and nature.

Inspired by the song's simple message, Kadir sought to capture the joy of living in and engaging with the world. Most importantly, he wished to portray the world as a child might see it--vast and beautiful.

Moses: When Harriet Tubman Guided Her People to Freedom and Henry's Freedom Box: A Real Tale from the Underground Railroad, both Caldecott Honor Books, were illustrated by Kadir Nelson. We Are the Ship, a Robert F. Kennedy novel, is one of his other works. Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African-Americans, winner of the Sibert Informational Book Prize and the Coretta Scott King Award.
