Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was released in January 1976 as the sequel to Taylor's novella Song of the Trees, and to celebrate its birthday the Newbery Award-winning book will feature all-new covers created by illustrator and two-time Caldecott Medal winner Kadir Nelson - including new, unique covers for each title in the Logan family saga and Taylor's entire backlist.

The Logan family is still inspiring generations of readers decades after their original story was published in 1975.
