| Author Notes: | Kwasi Asare was born in Nsawam, near the capital city of Accra, Ghana, and is one of Africa's most prominent and accomplished weavers known for kente cloth, the highly prized Ghanaian cloth that traditionally symbolizes royalty, honor, and leadership. For the United Nations' fiftieth anniversary in 1995, he created a new kente cloth design. Until 2017, it replaced the original cloth created by Kwasi's father, A. E. Asare. www.kwasiasare.com Ekua Holmes was awarded a Caldecott Honor, Coretta Scott King's John Steptoe New Talent Illustrator Award, Robert Siebert Award, and Boston Globe-Horn Book award for Voice of Freedom: Fannie Lou Hamer, Spirit of the Civil Rights Movement, her first illustration project.
