The authors have curated a diverse array of figures, featuring both renowned personalities like Bessie Coleman and Beyoncé, as well as lesser-known activists and artists.

Through engaging storytelling and illustrations, the book aims to educate children about Black cultural heritage and its contributions.

This book enables young readers to see themselves as part of history by linking historical figures with contemporary icons.

The Bethencourts emphasize that Black history spans various fields beyond activism, inspiring children to recognize their potential in any career.

Regis and Kahran Bethencourt have launched a picture book titled "Greatness," which celebrates significant figures and events in Black history.

Despite facing contemporary challenges such as book bans and criticisms of critical race theory, the authors remain dedicated to teaching Black history to children.

Previously, the Bethencourts published "Crowned," which creatively reimagined fairy tale characters using Black models.

They have also discovered the interconnectedness of historical events, such as the protests of Tommie Smith and John Carlos in 1968, and their relevance to current movements.

The authors feel a profound responsibility to accurately and meaningfully honor the stories of real historical figures through their illustrations.

Currently, they are working on their next book and plan to engage with schools to share these vital stories with students.
