About this listen
My brown boy laughs like a song,
rhythm like rain, soft and strong.
He holds the power to be
so bold, so magically free.
Moving verse by poet and activist Leslé Honoré and exuberant art by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Keturah A. Bobo come together in a joyful ode to the creativity, courage, and kindness of brown and Black boys. A companion title to Brown Girl, Brown Girl, this timeless picture book encourages young readers to be expansive, emotional, brilliant—whoever they want to be.
Praise for Brown Girl, Brown Girl, also by Leslé Honoré:
✭ "Warmly, brilliantly welcoming—and not to be missed." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

* "Honoré’s energetic poem-turned-picture book debut offers a contemplative call-and-response-style ode to brown girls everywhere.... In scene after scene, striking painterly acrylics by Caldecott Honoree Cabrera picture brown girls of myriad hair textures and skin tones joining together to dance, play, and stand tall."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
* "Honoré’s verse highlighting the strength and heart of Black and brown girls comes alive in this picture-book collaboration with Cabrera.... The illustrations intertwine softness and boldness with page after page of brown girls belonging, a visual togetherness that both honors and bridges individual and generational difference.... Warmly, brilliantly welcoming—and not to be missed."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"An uplifting book for brown and Black girls about endurance, growth, and looking forward to the future—and for those hoping to see themselves reflected in and celebrated in the pages, it's a reminder to stay true to yourself and love yourself for who you are."—Booklist
"Sweetly empowering; readers will come away with the feeling that brown girls around the world will one day become just as inspiring as the women they look up to and admire.... This gorgeously illustrated poem celebrating and elevating brown girls is a solid choice for picture book collections."—School Library Journal
