Crowned: Magical Folk and Fairy Tales from the Diaspora

Product Information

After Crown Books, Anna Currence became an executive recruiter with Sarasota, Florida-based Brooke Chase Associates Inc. The storytelling and visuals come together to create an immersive experience that will captivate both children and adults alike.

For a while, they worked in the children's fashion industry, capturing headshots for adolescent actors and shooting campaigns for kids' brands. Christophe saw himself as an Enlightenment ruler, and his kingdom produced great literary works, epic fortresses and opulent palaces.That means that many of the stories are reimagined to take place within a black community with black characters at the center of the story and I kind of loved it.

The first few chapters are travelling chapters (there are some important scenes mixed in), but I didn’t feel any tension while they were travelling. This book can hold its own in a print version as well because the stories are so good, and I would love to see the illustrations. It isn't categorized as a children's book, but I could see this becoming a family heirloom handed down through generations of awestruck kids paging through the amazing photos.However, with the right mindset, clarity of direction, good practical advice and much du‘ā’ and trust in Allah, all of our children can memorise the Qur’an and foster a deep and important relationship with this miraculous Book. Fairy tales are retold with Black children in the book 'Crowned' In their latest book CROWNED: Magical Folk and Fairy Tales from the Diaspora, Kahran and Regis Bethencourt retell fairy and folk tales with Black children as the main characters. There seemed to be a conscious effort to give the protagonists happy endings, which I understand the value in doing.
