Lena Waithe Instagram – COVER REVEAL! Introducing WHAT I MUST TELL THE WORLD, coming October 2024 from Hillman Grad Books! Today is Lorraine Hansberry’s birthday, and we’re thrilled to bring you this picture book biography that follows her journey to finding her voice — and her determination to bring Black stories to the stage.  Lorraine Hansberry soared to fame when her play ‘A Raisin in the Sun’ debuted on Broadway, and her work would go on to influence generations of artists. But before the spotlight, Lorraine was a little girl who walked everywhere with a notebook, eager to capture the sights, sounds, and stories of the people around her. Jay Leslie’s (@j.me.mcghee) text and Loveis Wise’s (@loveiswiseillu) artwork capture the experiences that inspired Lorraine, from her childhood in the segregated south side of Chicago to her adult years in Harlem creating alongside other legends like James Baldwin. Lyrical, vibrant, and empowering, this picture book is a celebration of Lorraine Hansberry’s life and legacy and an ode to the power of theater and storytelling.
