Soon I'll be giving short story book talks to my library students and I wanted to include this companion to Flying Lessons. It fits my purpose.
I'm a cisgender, white, suburban mom who has never had anything but privilege. However, the students I serve can find a story in this book with which to identify for sure. The stories give me the insight into their lives and I finished the book with a renewed compassion.
Some of my favorite authors are in here: Jason Reynolds, Walter Dean Myers, Nicola Yoon. Some are authors I'm reading for the first time. This is the brilliance of a story collection - I know have more authors to seek in order to have more books to share.
