Bryan Collier, WE SHALL OVERCOME

Award-winning author and illustrator Bryan Collier joins Zibby to talk about his latest picture book, We Shall Overcome, which connects the iconic anthem of the Civil Rights Movement to our current day. The two discuss how Bryan always knew he wanted to be an artist, the ways in which working with children for twelve years inspired his creativity, and why the book he is currently working on is his most exciting project yet. Bryan also breaks down the layers of the book's cover which features his youngest daughter.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3IbKY3ABookshop: https://bit.ly/3AbOFDJSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.** Check out the Z.I.P. membership program—Zibby’s Important People!
