The #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator of Stacey’s Extraordinary Words and the critically acclaimed author of Take Back the Block join together to create this heartwarming, empowering celebration of Black joy!

We are joy—showing off our moves and tick-tocking to the drumbeats
of our created culture—the culture that moves the world.

We are joy—full surrounded by laughter, and light
and love, and love, and love.

Shining with lyrical prose and gorgeously vibrant art, this delightful picture book read-together is an inspiring celebration of the beauty and strength of Black culture, Black community, and Black family. It’s an empowering affirmation that joy—especially black joy, is all around us—in the people we love, in our commmunities, and in our hearts.

★ “A colorful celebration of Black childhood joy….Persistently lovely and hopeful, a potent mirror.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ “This uplifting tribute to ancestry, advocacy, and aspiration aptly meditates on the sustaining power of joy.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
