The Undefeated

Kwame Alexander
(Juvenile Picture Books - Ej Ale)


This poem is an ode to African Americans who have encountered many defeats, but remain undefeated. Kadir Nelson’s remarkable art shows striking faces looking straight at the reader, some serious, some joyful, and some hopeful. An afterword and description of those depicted help provide context for children unfamiliar with some of the faces. 2020 illustrator award winner. Recommended for ages 6–12.
