Celebrate We Gullah Geechee
This picture book honors the history and the present of the Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Corridor, a 12,000-mile stretch of coast from Wilmington, North Carolina, to Jacksonville, Florida. Five children invite readers to experience what Gullah Geechee means to them, from fingerprints captured in red bricks to crab boils and beating drums. The acrylic and oil illustrations capture the vibrant colors and energy of a thriving culture and people—and might just whet your appetite, too.
