\n A poetic picture book biography about blind Black poet Myra Viola Wilds, written by the author of Brown: The Many Shades of Love<\/p>\n

What dreams do you carry? Myra Viola Wilds dreamed of opportunity.<\/p>\n

She left her home in rural Kentucky for the city, learned to read and to write, and became a dressmaker. She hand-stitched gorgeous gowns. She worked so hard she lost her eyesight, and her world went dark. But those well-loved stitches turned into words, and one night Myra woke in the middle of the night and wrote a poem she called \u201cSunshine.\u201d<\/p>\n

She kept writing. She wrote the lush green, sweet-corn yellow, cerulean blue, sunshine-y world from memory, collecting her poems into a book called Thoughts of Idle Hours, published in 1915.<\/p>\n

This lyrical, gorgeously illustrated picture book biography celebrates this little-known poet and includes a biography that provides context to her life\u2014the Great Migration, Jim Crow segregation\u2014as well a photograph and a small selection of her poems. <\/p>\n
