Fall 2025
We are reading Kin: Rooted in Hope by novel in verse by Carol Boston Weatherford with art by Jeffrey Boston Weatherford
We will be reading with people across the state as this novel is the One Maryland One Book 2025 pick- which was chosen for this year's theme: What We Collect/What We Tell
Kin: Rooted in Hope is a book created by, and about, a Black family and its generations. Poet and children’s author Carole Boston Weatherford and her son, artist Jeffery Boston Weatherford, collaborated on this book that gives voice to their earliest enslaved ancestors back to the founding of Maryland. With each poem and its accompanying illustration, Carole and Jeffery tell their family story through each of their kin and the world they lived in: the Chesapeake Bay, the plantation house, Frederick Douglass, Harriett Tubman, and more. The selection committee was enthralled by how Kin uses art and poetry to illuminate what can’t be said by historical records (when they are available), in a vital story that is about Maryland’s past and its present.
