**From legendary author and critic bell hooks and multi-Caldecott
Medalist Chris Raschka comes an acclaimed ode to Black boy joy, perfect
for fans of I Am Every Good Thing and I Am Enough.
**I be boy. All bliss boy. All fine beat. All beau boy. Beautiful.
Here a tight, exuberant story from two award-winning creators that
captures the essence and energy of what it means to be a boy. Chris
Raschka's soulful illustrations buzz with a force that is the perfect
match for bell hooks' powerful words.
Praise for Be Boy Buzz: *"This spare, poetic riff on young manhood
plumbs the delights and contradictions of what it means to be a boy...
Hooks's rhythmic blend of brevity and eloquence launches Raschka's
trademark visual haiku... This life-affirming book will have readers as
much 'in love with being a boy' as are its own utterly irresistible
characters."
