Harry Belafonte: A Little Golden Book Biography

Created in partnership with Ebony Jr., this Little Golden Book biography celebrates the life and legacy of singer, performer, and activist Harry Belafonte. When Harry Belafonte was a little boy, he moved from Harlem, New York, to live with his grandmother in Jamaica. There, Harry fell in love with Calypso music. This was the seed that blossomed into a life dedicated to inspiring people through music. This moving biography chronicles his life and career—as an actor, a singer, and civil rights activist who sought to make a difference while encouraging people to treat each other with respect and kindness.Since 1945, Ebony magazine has shined a spotlight on the worlds of Black people in America and worldwide, telling their stories. Ebony Jr! was created in 1973 to give Black children a magazine that was all their own. The magazine included stories, comics, puzzles, and cartoons centering Black children. Its mission was to ignite a love of reading and a love of self in Black kids, and we’re continuing that with our branded LGB program.
