Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans – A Coretta Scott King Award-Winning Picture Book on Integration for Children (Ages 6-10) Review: "Hope, Inspiration & Unwavering Courage" - What a beautifully illustrated book with images that appear to be so realistic. It really adds to the nature of the text, which provides a valuable overview of United States history and the lives of African Americans from the Revolutionary War era to the present day. This allows the reader to "travel back in time to find out about people, places and events from long ago" (Temple, Martinez, & Yokota, 2011, p. 360). The book is interesting as it gives several inspirational stories from real families and individuals that had an impact in shaping the history. The journey and progress of the African American culture is portrayed in a different nature then how most children learn about history through textbooks, which I think gives this book great appeal!

Review: Inspiring book for young and old alike - Kadir Nelson's illustrations are perfection. His art work gives life to the history and contributions of African Americans in America. I purchased 32 copies of this book for members of a Girl Scout tropp ( ages 8 - 12) as a part of their Black History project. The girls loved the book and learned a great deal about some of most important people and events in history. The troop leaders and parents were fascinated with the book and wanted to know where to get addidtional copies. Although Nelson's gives a broad brush approach to three decades of African American history, this beautifully crafted book highlights significant events and is a wonderful introduction to the history African Americans in our country. I highly recommend Heart and Soul: The Story of American and African Americans to teachers, librarians and parents. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,129 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #45 in Children's Books on Prejudice & Racism #95 in Children's Multicultural Biographies #127 in Children's Black & African American Story Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (862) | | Dimensions | 10 x 0.25 x 10 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | Grade level | 1 - 5 | | ISBN-10 | 0061730793 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061730795 | | Item Weight | 1.1 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | December 23, 2013 | | Publisher | HarperCollins | | Reading age | 8 - 12 years, from customers | ## Images ![Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African Americans – A Coretta Scott King Award-Winning Picture Book on Integration for Children (Ages 6-10) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81KEjR5fDUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Hope, Inspiration & Unwavering Courage" *by J***S on May 1, 2013* What a beautifully illustrated book with images that appear to be so realistic.

For me it was always the pictures. If the pictures weren't good . . . the book wasn't good. Curious George . . . Where the Wild Things Are . . . Dr. Seuss . . . it's the pictures that grab you, then the story that holds you. This whole book is a work of art, without being artsy. The pictures are just astonishing. Really. This book would be worth buying even without words. I can't imagine the time put into it and wonder if some of the illustrations are part of larger exhibits, on a mural somewhere etc. I also like the personal folksy story telling tone - although it sometimes seems to have a southern accent and sometimes doesn't. At 100 pages and 12 chapters it's not a one night bedtime story for young kids . . . But in my mind it is totally deserving of required reading status for say ages 8 through . . . 108? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2535439-heart-and-soul-the-story-of-america-and-african-americans](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2535439-heart-and-soul-the-story-of-america-and-african-americans) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
