Day You Begin (The) - Cover
Day You Begin (The)
Jacqueline Woodson, Nancy Paulson Books 2018
 
This is a gorgeous book about children finding their courage to speak up in class about their real lives, histories, and experiences. It is a response to the common, "What did you do on your summer vacation?" question that all too often marginalizes and shames children. Written like a poem, illustrated with sensitivity and beauty. Woodson and Lopez at their best!
