My sons teacher got this book for him and he LOVES it! It's so important for my son to be seen (as a Brown boy) and know there are books out there that represent him. He loves reading all the reviews and we have read several of the recommended books in here. We have been having more vital conversations about race, social justice and the meaning of privilege since this book came into our house. My son is reading more books and has become more interested in reading since his teacher got him this book. Thank you! Please write more books like this!
