Can I Touch Your Hair?: Poems of Race, Mistakes, and Friendship by Charles Waters, Irene Latham

4.0

I enjoyed this book of poetry very much. I think difficult topics were dealt with gracefully and honestly. I only gave 4 stars rather than 5 because I'm not certain that the language of the poems matches the age of the characters and the age which the collection seems to be marketed to. I love that the message wasn't "we're all the same". Because we aren't, we are all different. But when we get to know one another we can find the things we have in common and build bonds and relationships and understanding.
