Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam

4.0

Though I probably would've enjoyed this book more had I read it physically rather than audibly, that does not deter from the creatively powerful and beautiful writing. In addition to the book being told in verse, I especially loved that our main character loves art & reading, and that those things help him get through his time in jail. This is yet another important story highlighting injustices and oppression towards Black people, even those of young ages, that needs to be told and internalized.
