Born on the Water, a picture book in verse, will tell the story of a young girl doing a class assignment, which “chronicles the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States.” On Twitter, illustrator Smith, author and illustrator of children’s picture book The Golden Girls of Rio, and illustrator of World Cup Women, wrote that the picture book is “possibly the most important assignment of my career so far.” Watson, author of numerous young adult, middle grade and children’s picture books, including Harlem’s Little Blackbird: The Story of Florence Mills, called the collaboration “a supreme honor” on Twitter.
