Star Child: A Biographical Constellation of Octavia Estelle Butler by Ibi Zoboi
hopeful
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
5.0
Star Child is a fantastic genre-bending book for introducing young people to Octavia E. Butler’s life and works!
I loved reading Butler’s quotes and seeing copies of her actual writing in these pages. Every time I read one of her books, I’m inspired to learn more about her life and understand her mind. Yes, I could just read her Wikipedia page but this was so much better!
In between the stories and quotes, Ibi Zoboi brought creativity, flow, and imagination to Butler’s life with poetry.
This book would be an amazing addition to every library and school!
