This is an important story. The pain of so many families. I feel sad.

I thought I added this book to my reads already. Huh. That's really weird. Welp, I read it last year and enjoyed it very much.

My dad got a skin color of a black person but is puertorican.... he told me he gets racist things called to him...went into a store and somebody followed him to make sure he won't steal anything out of there. I'm scared for his life every Single day.

Phew, I don’t know what age I would have been ready to read this growing up, but it’s an important book that needs to be read and discussed. Happy banned books week y’all.
