GR Choice Award #picturebook nominations
I love this one, and Vanessa Brantley-Newton also lives in Charlotte, so she is a local author! This book of empowering poems would be great for an elementary poetry unit.
A few of the standout poems: A Wish for Daddy, I Am a Canvas, Weird, I Am.
The illustrations are beautiful, and I loved how they complemented and added another layer to the poems.
