A groundbreaking songbook that makes early Black Atlantic music accessible and playable for today’s musicians, music enthusiasts, and historians.

A tribute to the Black women who shaped country music, pairing mini-biographies with playful portraits, illustrated in full color by Rhiannon Giddens.

Written as a song to commemorate the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth and paired here with bold illustrations by painter Monica Mikai, the children’s book Build a House tells the moving story of a people who would not be moved and the music that sustained them.

This dialogue between a mother and daughter paired with startlingly beautiful illustrations by Briana Mukodiri Uchendu celebrates love, resilience, and the spiritual power of the “old-time ways”—tradition and shared cultural memory—to sustain and uplift. Based on lyrics from the song “We Could Fly”.
