Welcome to Litsy!

A beautiful story about starting to find yourself. This story touches on several big topics including grief, LGBTQ+, racism, and child abuse. The happy-ish resolution of the child abuse arc definitely gave consideration to the book's target demographic because it wrapped up a bit too neat. But overall, a thoughtful and thought provoking story.

A beautiful story told in a very lucid way, about Kingston , a young Black boy who is going through grief of losing his brother. To cope with the pain of loss, he starts believing that his brother turned into a dragonfly. The story also touches upon issues of racism, LGBTQ and child abuse ,but not in a very heavy or aerious way.
