Five Owls: "Hamilton's commanding stories and the Dillons' compelling illustrations join to create a unified whole....the art complements the integrity of each individual tale....Besides being significant contributions to African American folklore, to American literature, and to celebrations of women, these stories delight and enchant, they frighten and thrill, they amuse and they sober. Quite simply, they beg to be shared." |
