For our last spotlighted interview, here is the Reading Rockets conversation with renowned artist, writer, storyteller, and humanitarian Ashley Bryan https://www.readingrockets.org/books/interviews/bryan. Many of his works are focused on the African American experience and are influenced by traditional African oral stories. Bryan has received two American Library Association career literary awards for his literary contributions, multiple Coretta Scott King Awards, and Honors, and was the 2006 U.S. nominee for the international Hans Christian Andersen Award. #BlackHistoryMonth #AshleyBryan
