Grade 3-8-Nelson illustrates the noted poet’s “Mood Indigo,” from her collection entitled A Daughter’s Geography. The book begins with the opening lines of the poem set against a pale gray page: “it hasn’t always been this way/ellington was not a street.” Opposite, a full-page painting shows several people walking beneath a green sign that reads Ellington St. A young African-American woman carrying a red umbrella is prominently featured, and readers will soon understand that she is the child narrator, all grown up (the resemblance is striking). In the poem, Shange recalls her childhood when her family entertained many of the ”-men/who changed the world,” including Paul Robeson, W.E.B. DuBois, Ray Barretto, Dizzy Gillespie, “Sonny Til” Tilghman, Kwame Nkrumah, and Duke Ellington. Both the words and the rich, nostalgic illustrations are a tribute to these visionaries. Done in oils, the skillfully rendered portraits emphasize facial expressions, clothing, and physical positioning on the page, and provide unmistakable insight into the persona of each individual. Although presented in picture-book format, the poem is sophisticated, and therefore it may need to be read aloud and explained to younger readers. A biographical sketch of each man appears at the end, along with the poem reprinted on a single page.

Pretty

This stuff has a strong scent. Sort of beachy, sunscreen smell, which is not my favorite. It is definitely shimmery. I used this for a hawaiian themed party. It was pretty! It dried down fairly quickly. I did place a towel down in my car before I got in it just in case some of it came off the back of my legs and got all over the seat. I wear black pants to work most days, and didn't want a glitter butt every day.

LOVE this product! Bought few bottles because they were on sale. You get such a nice bronze glow. I dont just use on face I put around collar bone area, legs and arms. Subtle glitter and glisten. You dont need a lot. One pumps is small amount, but goes a long way. I get lots of compliments when sun or light hits just right. LOVE LOVE LOVE

***Please read whole review for full story. Product is good. Delivery was issue.

I had ordered a bunch of items at once; but within the large box they came in that had no signs of forced entry, there were 2 boxes that were clearly busted open and tampered with, and unfortunately the body shimmer oil was one of them. You can see that someone opened it, and had to go through the plastic to do so, and this makes it concerning for health/safety issues when ultimately using the product. (Speaking in terms of people putting fentanyl on everything). Thankfully I don’t think that’s the case, and the body shimmer oil works as described. I have fair skin and personally I think the shimmer itself isn’t overwhelming or underwhelming- it’s just right. My only issue is that I’m sensitive to perfumes and I find the scent disturbs my respiratory system a bit, making me cough. If that’s not an issue for you, this is a good product.
