With her children’s book, To Be a Drum, Evelyn Coleman presents a rhythmic celebration of black history in the United States rooted in the beat of the African drum. Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson’s tactile, earthy illustrations underscore the painful journey from the shores of Africa, the resilience of the black spirit through overwhelming hardship, and the ultimate triumphs in every field from medicine to literature to politics. Coleman’s narrative voice deftly navigates the diverse landscape of her readers; everyone takes something away, though each subsequent reading reveals new depth depending on one’s age and life experience.
