Towers Falling
by Jewell Parker Rhodes
This beautiful book moved me and made me cry, and I think it's a must-read for kids and adults alike. Wrapped in the story of Dèja—a homeless fifth-grader in Brooklyn who learns the story of 9/11 and its effect on her family—is a heartbreaking portrait of friendship, poverty, race, mental health and what it really means to be an American. This book is a wonderful, gentle way to introduce kids to the terrorist attacks while also teaching them about diversity and homelessness. Highly recommend.
