Book Description
Crow and the Rainbow found its start as I was talking with Kiera, my second oldest daughter, after the recent publication of my first children's book, The Copper Kettle. Of course we were very excited and Kiera said that she wanted to write a story someday too, and as a matter of fact she had an idea for one right then! In our neighborhood, there are quite a few crows, and she had often expressed interest in these loud and shiny black birds. She wanted to know if they had always been so black and noisy, and wondered why they were so attracted to shiny objects. As only a child can, she began to narrate a short story about the greedy black crows and how they had tried to steal the rainbow, and so lost their voice (since they flew too close to the sun). She then asked me to help her finish the story, and the rest is... well, the rest is an intriguing short story about how Crow came to be the way he is today! The illustrations for this book were created by Georgia Padilla, a brilliant Colorado-born artist whose intricate and colorful artwork truly brings this story to life. I am extremely grateful to both of these amazing young women whose imagination and talent have come together in this story - we hope that you enjoy reading Crow and the Rainbow as much as we did creating it!

Book Description
From one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the past century—a collection of essays, articles, reviews, and interviews that have never before been gathered in a single volume. “An absorbing portrait of Baldwin’s time—and of him.” —New York Review of Books James Baldwin was an American literary master, renowned for his fierce engagement with issues haunting our common history. In The Cross of Redemption we have Baldwin discoursing on, among other subjects, the possibility of an African-American president and what it might mean; the hypocrisy of American religious fundamentalism; the black church in America; the trials and tribulations of black nationalism; anti-Semitism; the blues and boxing; Russian literary masters; and the role of the writer in our society. Prophetic and bracing, The Cross of Redemption is a welcome and important addition to the works of a cosmopolitan and canonical American writer who still has much to teach us about race, democracy, and personal and national identity. As Michael Ondaatje has remarked, “If van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, Baldwin [was] our twentieth-century one.”
