Winner of the 2008 Coretta Scott King Award for ILLUSTRATION



Let it Shine by Ashley Bryan

It’s amazing what artists can do with color to make a book stand out. This book by Ashley Bryan lets you experience the songs in the book through his illustrations. There is so much color flowing in the pages of the book that you can see people of different colors coming together with the words of the songs. It is a great representation of the spiritual songs “This Little Light of Mine,” “Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In,” “He’s got the Whole World in His Hands.”
