Hush by Jacqueline Woodson
3.75
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Woodson writes a book that is still so relevant today with all the unnecessary police violence against people of color. This is a heartwrenching story about a police officer who stands up for what he believes is right, but at the same time, he is putting himself and his family in danger. 

Told from the point of view of the younger daughter, this book shows different sides of this story as the whole family is affected by one incident, one tragedy, one event that should never have happened and yet it changes the lives of so many people.
