Nikki Grimes (she/her)

Another child's heart pierced by a bullet— one more mark of darkness encroaching. Yet we wake daily drink in enough sun to become inebriated, feel the kiss of rain on the cheek reek of untold blessings mindlessly embraced. Thank God for common grace. Copyright Nikki Grimes 2021

@kidlitjenny Talkin' About Bessie; Kamala Harris:Rooted in Justice; Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope. And look for works by Carole Boston Weatherford. She's written tons of these, and they're all good.

TBT Preparing to read poetry from One Last Word, one of them inspired by Langston Hughes, being read in the home of Langston Hughes. A pinch-me moment facilitated by Renee Watson. Still taking it all in. https://t.co/5B8STaY9SQ

This book banning business is getting crazier by the minute. And it's not only in Texas. Make Way for Dyamonde Daniel has been pulled in Morristown, NJ! What???

What a beautifully written book, with just the right touches of magic that mark moments of childhood we want to cling. Add this to your list, if you haven’t already.
