Books by Irene Latham

A powerful story told through linked poems which raise questions of race and identity in an honest and tangible way for younger readers.

A charming and significant story set prior to the Civil Rights Movement about a boy who finds a way to challenge segregation laws.

Spend a day at a water hole on the African grasslands. From dawn to nightfall, animals come and go. Giraffes gulp, wildebeests graze, impalas leap, vultures squabble, and elephants wallow. Irene Latham's gorgeous poems are accompanied by additional facts that provide further details about the animals and their environment. Imaginative illustrations from Anna Wadham complete this delightful collection.
