This collection of poetry by the multitalented Renée Watson is exquisite. It weaves together stories of Black girls growing up in a neighborhood of supportive mothers, aunts and neighbors. It's a celebration of resilience and a call for young girls to claim their strength and celebrate who they are. The collage art by Ekua Holmes is gorgeous and the poems are resonant and thoughtful and joyous. Recommended for all middle and high school library collections, and for adult readers as well.
