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.

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
