I See the Rhythm of Gospel

40 pp. | Zonderkidz | January, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-310-71819-2 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Michele Wood. This companion to I See the Rhythm traces the influence of gospel music on African Americans' lives, from slavery through civil rights to today's "holy hip-hop." The creative and vital premise is weakened by the overwhelming mix of elements on each spread: multiple fonts, overpowering visuals, notes in fine print, etc. On what should the eye and the mind focus? A CD is included.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
