Simply phenomenal! Deserves to read/listened to, whatever your cup of tea. If Elizabeth Acevedo goes on tour, I will be there to hear and listen. Xiomara's words are her words, and they are worth listening to/reading and remembering.

I can see why a lot of people like this - but it was too young for me.
Religion and parental abuse are very strong in this. As well as sexuality and individuation.

This is an illustrated collection of poems penned by various authors. I appreciated the diversity of subjects including empathy, activism, body positivity and stereotyping.
People of any race or cultural background could relate to some of the poems. One such piece titled What is an Intersection included the lines, "Intersectionality means we are all happening, we are all supporting each other. We are an ecosystem living and growing, depending on each other for survival, evolving and becoming whole." To me, that was probably the best message coming out of the various poems. There were a few 'misses' in the book, with the strong message overshadowing the actual crafting of the poem.
Four stars for a thoughtful collection of poems, accompanied by some lovely illustrations.… (lisätietoja)
