A New York Times Best Illustrated Book

Critically acclaimed author Jabari Asim and Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator E. B. Lewis give readers a fascinating glimpse into the boyhood of Civil Rights leader John Lewis.

John wants to be a preacher when he grows up--a leader whose words stir hearts to change, minds to think, and bodies to take action. But why wait? When John is put in charge of the family farm's flock of chickens, he discovers that they make a wonderful congregation So he preaches to his flock, and they listen, content under his watchful care, riveted by the rhythm of his voice.

Celebrating ingenuity and dreaming big, this inspirational story, featuring Jabari Asim's stirring prose and E. B. Lewis's stunning, light-filled impressionistic watercolor paintings, includes an author's note about John Lewis, who grew up to be a member of the Freedom Riders, chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and demonstrator on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. John Lewis is now a Georgia congressman, who is still an activist today, recently holding a sit-in on the House floor of the U.S. Capitol to try to force a vote on gun violence. His March: Book Three recently won the National Book Award, as well as the American Library Association's Coretta Scott King Author Award, Printz Award, and Sibert Award.

Comfortable and Supportive Ergonomic Chair
I bought this chair a while ago but just got around to give a honest review, and I am okay with its comfort and support. The adjustable lumbar support provides excellent lower back relief. Assembly was straightforward, and the chair feels sturdy and well-built. A great value for anyone seeking comfort and quality in an office chair.

Decent chair for the price
Bought this for my boyfriend as an upgrade from his old chair. The wicker material is super comfy and breathable so you're never sweaty from the chair. It's also hyper adjustable. My only con is the bottom seat piece; it is a little too narrow for my hips to fit nicely (I'm a bigger girl) but for my boyfriend it just fits. It is not a deal breaker but something to consider especially if you're wider like me. Also since the entire bottom seat is wicker with zero padding, the front lip of can be a little uncomfortable with the plastic under piece slightly pushing into your legs but its more bothersome than anything. For the price I feel pretty good about it.

Awesome chair and great design!
The mesh surface of this chair is incredibly comfortable and provides excellent elasticity, making it perfect for extended use. Assembly was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions provided. I also appreciate the adjustable air pump, which allows for easy height adjustments to suit my needs. The neck and lumbar supports are fully adjustable, aligning perfectly with my body to offer strong, customized support. Overall, it's an exceptionally cozy chair with a sleek, modern design that combines comfort with style.

Great support and easy to assemble!
Really can't complain about anything about this chair, it was delivered quickly, packaged very securely and very easy to put together with simple instructions. I work from home and am older with multiple joint problems and this chair has many different ways to be adjusted that really help, especially if I'm extra achy or sore. I really like how the arm rest can be angled so that I can access my keyboard at my desk ergonomically and the arms can be lifted up and out of the way all together so that I can position myself closer to the desk when needed. A really nice chair for a great price.

Great Chair, But Armrests Are a Nuisance
This ergonomic office chair has a lot going for it. The mesh back is comfortable and breathable, the adjustable lumbar support is excellent, and the 3D headrest is a welcome addition for long workdays. The rocking function is also a nice feature to have. Overall, the chair is very comfortable and supportive, and seems well-made with the SGS Class 4 gas cylinder. However, there's one glaring flaw that constantly annoys me: the armrests. While they are 3D adjustable, meaning they move up and down, forward and back, and side to side, there's no way to lock them in place. This means that every time I shift in my seat or even just slightly bump the armrest, it moves. It's incredibly frustrating to constantly be readjusting them. It disrupts my focus and makes it hard to find a truly comfortable and consistent position. If the armrests could be locked, this chair would be near perfect. As it stands, this one issue significantly detracts from the overall experience. If you're someone who fidgets or moves around a lot while sitting, I'd seriously consider whether you can live with armrests that constantly need readjustment. For me, it's a daily annoyance that makes me question whether I'd buy this chair again.
