2014 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award Winner
Bryan Collier, illustrator of Knock Knock: My Dad's Dream for Me written by Daniel Beaty and published by Little, Brown and Company, Hachette Book Group.

You will be drawn onto the story's heart by the illustrations.

Beautiful, moving and poignant, the book present the story and emotions from the boy's point of view. There is no judgment, just witness. The author's note after the story is very important, but wait until after you read the story without judgment yourself.

When I passed the story to my best beloved, I could barely speak and was in tears. Best beloved read it. Best beloved said, "incredible."
