Listen up, cool kids (and cool grown-ups)! If you’re not reading Black Artists Rock! The Cool Kids' Guide A-Z Volume 2, you’re seriously missing out! This book is like a VIP backstage pass to the greatest Black artists of the last century—singers, dancers, poets, and even a legendary chef (yes, food is art too!). It’s fast, fun, and packed with surprises—like, who knew Thelonious Monk was THAT cool? It’s not just a book; it’s a celebration, a history lesson, and a jam session all in one. Read it, love it, pass it on!h 🎶🎨🔥
