The genius of his artwork reflects the strength of the songs, their historical aspect and their universality. The musical presentation allows children and families immediate access to the Spirituals, whether in singing or playing the music. The books exude joy, peace, pathos and love. Hallelujah for Ashley! --Jane Botham, former coordinator of children's services, Milwaukee Public Library and Barbara Brown Lee, chief educator, Milwaukee Art Museum

Bryan's seminal collections of slave songs and 'sorrow songs' (originally published by Atheneum in 1974 and 1982, respectively) have been reissued, updated, and beautifully redesigned with a new introduction by Bryan and a foreword by Dr. Henrietta Mays Smith. --Elissa Gershowitx, the Horn Book
