The Undefeated
Reviews
Kwame Alexander is a beautiful voice for our generation. This poetry is moving and the illustrations are stunning. A very inspiring book, especially for children of color.
*read for an assignment* It is not hard to tell why this is an award-winning book. This poem tells an important story about the struggles and achievements within black history. This book radiates inspiration, love, and pride. However, it packs a punch even with some of its simplicity. The illustrations are rich and beautiful and the perfect complement to the poem. This is an important book for all children to have on their shelves.
A little book that gives you so much. The Undefeated is a picture book for children and adults. It is written more of like a poem rather than a story. As someone who knows very little about black people's lives, this book has given me a lot. It is enough for me to get a big picture of what happened then and now with black people. It is like a glimpse of history and I really appreciate that. This poem is so simple but yet so profound. I also love that Mr. Alexander explains who are the people he wrote this poem for, to make sure that their stories are not forgotten and at the same time gives the reader knowledge about them. I love this book. SO. MUCH. and it is a must have copy for all school & library in the world.
