This Coretta Scott King illustration award winner beautifully showcases three well-known spirituals, including “This Little Light of Mine,” “When the Saints Go Marching In” and “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” Words and pictures make up most of the book, with the actual “sheet music” at the conclusion.Bright, vibrant illustrations set the tone for each spiritual, interpreting them accordingly. I loved the bright colors and cheerful illustrations, and think they would resonate with young children as well. I also liked the author’s note at the back of the book, explaining the origins of the three spirituals.
