Solomon really digs into the dirt, the blood, the earthiness of us all in this book. I love the way they blended knowledge of the land and Indigenous sovereignty into this book so naturally as well as the history of oppression and how land has been stolen, how revolution and communities have been broken. This is a central part of the story and our very realities as people who occupy what is now known as the U.S.A.
