Shining Bright, Shining Black! is a rebound treasury of the best-selling, genre-defining Young, Gifted and Black, and its follow-up Young, Gifted and Black Too. Meet 100 icons of colour from the past, including inspiring figures from as far back as the 1500s, and present day, in this celebration of inspirational achievement.

This treasury includes a collection of stories about changemakers to encourage, inspire and empower the next generation of changemakers, as well as exciting new material and a detailed timeline. This is ideal for educators and homeschoolers studying Black excellence, with a huge range of figures to explore over the academic year. Biographies are ordered chronologically, and the range of figures showcases a global selection in line with the movement towards decolonising our history and curricula.

Strong, courageous, talented and diverse, these extraordinary men and women's achievements will inspire a new generation to chase their dream… whatever it may be.
