Creating a fictional account of the Tulsa Race Massacre that is developmentally appropriate for children is no easy feat, yet Smith does it so eloquently! The captivating illustrations bring each moment to life, making the reader feel deeply connected to the characters and Greenwood. Deeply moving and tangible, this middle grade novel is a necessary read for young learners!
