EASTON — The eight annual Chesapeake Children’s Book Festival took place on Saturday, June 24, at the Talbot County Free Library, drawing more than 1,800 people.
Katheryn Russell-Brown s latest storybook, SHE WAS THE FIRST! The Trailblazing Life of Shirley Chisholm, has been named a finalist for the 2021 NAACP Image Awards. It is her second nomination by the organization, making her children s books two for three as recognized outstanding literature.
The biography tells the story of a powerful Black woman the first elected to the New York State Assembly and Congress and to run for president who inspired a young Russell-Brown. She aims now to pass along that same awe, respect and confidence Chisholm brought her to other children. It s for young people who want their voice to be heard. There s room at the table for everyone like [Chisholm] says. They don t have a seat for you; bring your folding chair. Demand your seat, the 59-year-old said. This is really great and exciting for me.
