A Place Inside of Me

A black child explores his feelings just before and after a police shooting in this lovely poem of a book, reflecting on past experiences, but with hope for the future.

Beautifully written and illustrated!

This is my favorite section and favorite page:

“for there is love inside of me
true love deep down inside of me
i am in love with
my people
all people
plus
tress
sparrows
sunlight
& the rain
that falls like a blessing from above”
