Hip Hop Speaks to Children with CD by Alicia Vergel De Dios

Hip Hop Speaks to Children is a celebration of poetry with a beat. Like Poetry Speaks to Children, the classic book and CD that started it all, it's meant to be the beginning of a journey of discovery. Readers can immerse themselves in 51 selections from 42 poets and performers, and 30 performances on the audio CD, many recorded especially for this collection.
Some tracks on the CD are performed by the artists who created them, others are unique interpretations by admiring poets and artists. Hear a musical interpretation of Sterling Brown's poem "Long Track Blues" and a youth performance of Elizabeth Swados's poem "Me" plus much more!

Lincoln and Douglass, Spin a Soft Black Song, The Sun Is So Silent, and the Caldecott Honor Book Rosa are all written by Nikki Giovanni. Her autobiography, Gemini, was a National Book Award finalist, and she has won NAACP Image Awards for several of her novels. She was the first person to receive the Rosa L. Parks has received the Langston Hughes Medal for poetry and the Rosa Parks Woman of Courage Award.
