Where Are You From?

i randomly decided to pick this book up just because i really love yamile's writing in furia and i just wanted to check out her picture books to read to the kid i tutor. and i kid you not i cried. this was so beautiful, from the illustrations to yamile's writing. stories like these are the ones i wish i had when i was a kid.

there's this one quote that made me so emotional.

“from this land where our ancestors built a home for all, even when they were in chains because the color of their skin”

that's beautiful y'all.
