Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
5.0

Wow. This is Deja's story. Deja is a born and bred New Yorker, born in Brooklyn in 2006. Her class at school is learning about 9/11 and she has no idea about it at all, has never even been to Manhattan.

I'll admit, I cried a little when Deja watched the video of the towers collapsing and I could see it happening again in my mind's eye, even though I haven't watched them in 15 years - I'm not even sure I could watch them again. I saw the North tower fall on live TV and the hundreds of replays in the days following.

So now I'm wondering, does my 8-year-old know about 9/11? Should I tell him? How?
