My Hands Sing the Blues: Romare Bearden's Childhood JourneyAs a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great grandmother's Cherokee stories and heard the whistle of the train that took his people to the North people who wanted to be free. When Romare boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By.

As a young boy growing up in North Carolina, Romare Bearden listened to his great-grandmother's Cherokee stories and heard the whistle of the train that took his people to the North--people who wanted to be free. When Romare boarded that same train, he watched out the window as the world whizzed by. Later he captured those scenes in a famous painting, Watching the Good Trains Go By. Using that painting as inspiration and creating a text influenced by the jazz that Bearden loved, Jeanne Walker Harvey describes the patchwork of daily southern life that Romare saw out the train's window and the story of his arrival in shimmering New York City. Artists and critics today praise Bearden's collages for their visual metaphors honoring his past, African American culture, and the human experience. Elizabeth Zunon's illustrations of painted scenes blended with collage are a stirring tribute to a remarkable artist.

My Hands Sing the Blues is the recipient of the 2012 IRA Childrens and Young Adults Book Award-Primary Non-Fiction, as well as the gold winner of a Moonbeam Children's Book Award in the category of Picture Book-All Ages.

Holy Wow!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are so fluffy and material is really soft. They came vacuumed packed. I thought well this will be a return for sure. Followed the directions and placed them in my dryer for 15 minutes. Could not believe how big and fluffy they were. My company always ask for the link and I have ordered them for family members and for myself 4 times. Mine I’ve had over a year and have kept their shape and fluffiness. If you like a fluffy pillow…this is the one. They are the best!!!

Comfortable and good quality
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
So comfortable! We stayed at an Airbnb that used these pillows and went home and ordered some! These are similar to another more expensive pillow I’ve used but way better price. The filling feels nice and they don’t go flat or get lumpy so far.

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Comfortable pillows with good support
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
I purchased the EIUE Hotel Collection bed pillows (2 pack) looking for something comfortable and supportive, and overall they’ve been a good addition to my bed. The pillows arrived well packaged and fluffed up nicely after opening. They feel soft but still provide decent support for sleeping. I’m mostly a side and back sleeper, and these pillows have worked well without feeling too flat. They hold their shape better than I expected and don’t require constant fluffing during the night. The fabric feels smooth and breathable, which helps keep them comfortable. My only small downside is that they’re slightly softer than what I personally prefer, but that really comes down to personal preference. Overall, these are comfortable, good-quality pillows that offer nice support and value for the price. I’d recommend them if you’re looking for hotel-style pillows that are soft yet supportive.

These pillows are exactly as described, I would say they are softer than I expected but still very good. They come compressed so it will take an hour or so for them to fill up so you will want to open these before bedtime. All in All if you are looking for a reasonably priced pillow that will last a couple of months I would recommend these.
