What a lovely compliment, and as a former teacher it is especially nice! TY! Wonderful to be included with these other amazing books! @SourcebooksKids @SBKSLibrary @RootLiterary
Replying to @AimeeSatterlee
T.J.B.T.Ratchet —a teacher’s dream. So many poetic forms explained. Rhyme Schemer—the epitome of what I ❤️ about verse and using a specific type (Found Poetry) to elevate the story. African Town and Voices—the poetry type chosen for each character is deliberate and adds layers.

Without a doubt one of the most gut-wrenching and impactful books I’ve ever read. This was a required reading for my Theological Hamartiology & Anthropology class but I think it should also be required reading for every American Christian.

The Color of Compromise by @JemarTisby was such an eye-opener for me to learn about the racist history of white american evangelicalism. It's alarming how deeply rooted white supremacy still is within it & I've repented for the role I've played in the machine. Highly recommend.

You made my day! TY! And your dog sounds like mine. My little Cockapoo ate the dog training book my daughter was using to train her. 😊
Replying to @NancyJCavanaugh
As a former teacher, Ratchet gets high marks! I would have absolutely read this with my students. (P.S. My dog loved it too. First time she “ate” a book 😆, so we bought the library a fresh new copy!)

HAPPENING NOW: We’ve laid out 2,280 schoolbooks and broken pencils before the U.S. Capitol. They represent the 2,280 children that have been killed by gun violence since the Senate has refused to bring a vote on background checks. We're telling senators: #DontLookAway.

Hey, @judith_bice TY for HEY, WHITE GIRL. So insightful w/ such authentic characters! The layers & subtleties of the story are so thought-provoking. Readers already aware of embedded racism will see it more clearly & some may begin to see it for the 1st time. So important!
