What Do Brothas Do All Day? by Ajuan Mance

What a celebration! Black men and boys do all sorts of things, with bold graphic style that feels like a mix between Lichtenstein pop art and Picasso portraits. Portraying the everyday and the exceptional, with simple rhythmic text that encourages readers to dream and think.
