When I Hear Spirituals, illustrated by London Ladd and written by Cheryl Willis Hudson, has received its fifth starred review from School Library Journal, and was awarded a Gold Standard Selection from the Junior Library Guild. The School Library Journal review praises the book saying, “No matter the level of reader familiarity with spirituals, this title brims with lyricism and soul-lifting strength through its emotional illustrations and compelling text.”
Congratulations, London!
