 R2S is thrilled to celebrate the release of "Black Girl, Black Girl" co-authored by Asheville native Jorge Redmond and his friend Ali Kamanda. "Black Girl, Black Girl" is an inspirational walk through history where families can meet change-makers like Wilma Rudolph, Mae Jemison, Kamala Harris, among others. The lyrical rhyming text and vibrant artwork mimic Redmond and Kamanda's first book, "Black Boy, Black Boy," and bring all the magic and inspiration to fuel the next generation of heroes!
