Celebrate Black Family roots on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with author Carole Boston Weatherford and illustrator Jeffery Boston Weatherford’s newest book release, Kin: Rooted in Hope. Rendered in searing poems and stunning scratchboard art, a powerful portrait of a Black family tree is shaped by enslavement and freedom. From scraps of history, this mother and son duo have conjured the voices of their kin, creating an often painful but ultimately empowering story of who their people were in a breathtaking book that is at once deeply personal yet all too universal.
