5.0

A tough, but challenging read that holds a mirror to the pervasiveness of anti-Blackness in America. It’s remarkable to see the world through a child’s eyes, where few things are more important than a sense of safety and belonging. Morrison’s stark call for self-exploration and healing is heard loud and clear.
