February 8: Brick by Brick by Charles R. Smith, Jr.

Coretta Scott King Award winners Charles R. Smith, Jr., and illustrator Floyd Cooper present young readers with the powerful story of the building of the White House, which was created largely by slave labor.

Constructed Brick by Brick, the White House was created by human hands, many of them slaves', whose hard labor helped create the symbol of this country, in the powerful story of how the official residence and principal workplace of the United States presidents was built.
