Notes From Your Bookseller

Jason Reynolds is a voice we listen to regardless of genre and age. In his picture book debut There Was a Party for Langston, with the help of the iconic art stylings of the Pumphrey Brothers (Jerome and Jarrett), we're called to celebrate the "King of Letters", Langston Hughes. This joyous acknowledgment of the literary genius and glass-ceiling smasher Langston Hughes features Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka and more legends as they gather for the party of a lifetime. Jason Reynolds + The Pumphrey Brothers + Langston Hughes = A party not to be missed!

You are INVITED. To a most marvelous party. For a most marvelous man. A man who turned the alphabet into THUMP A BUMP. Who turned words into JAZZ into RIVERS into BUSTIN' A MOVE. All of his word-children will be there, uh-huh.
Because it's a party for LANGSTON.
Langston Hughes. King o' Letters. Renaissance Man. So don't be shy. Come on in.
To the Hoopla in Harlem.
EVERYONE is welcome.
