[Starred Review] Books that tell childhood stories of notable people are beloved by young readers, and That They Lived: African Americans Who Changed the World makes a fantastic addition to this category. Every page of this book has been tailor-made to appeal to young people, from Riley's thoughtful profiles to the way Smith-Jones stages each portrait to honor the spirit of its subject rather than merely imitate the original photograph. Her attention to small details is extraordinary, such as Shirley Chisholm's horn-rimmed glasses and Duke Ellington's pocket square.
