CW: racism, microaggressions, bullying, deportation, and death of a parent.
This was so wholesome yet so important and informative. I felt so connected to the characters, especially Esteban. Esteban is a Dominican kid that fears that his dad will be deported back to the Dominican republic. As a person with Dominican parents, I fear this every day. I might've cried a few times if I'm being honest.
I would recommend this book to everyone regardless of age!!
Over a school year, classmates from a “special” class bond by telling their personal stories. Woodson allows her characters to delve into many issues: immigration, race, class, privilege, etc. while reminding all of us to “harbor each other. Even strangers. Everyday.”
