Black Girl You Are Atlas
Black Girl You Are Atlas | Renée Watson
8 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
A thoughtful celebration of Black girlhood by award-winning author and poet Renée Watson. In this semi-autobiographical collection of poems, Renée Watson writes about her experience growing up as a young Black girl at the intersections of race, class, and gender. Using a variety of poetic forms, from haiku to free verse, Watson shares recollections of her childhood in Portland, tender odes to the Black women in her life, and urgent calls for Black girls to step into their power. Black Girl You Are Atlas encourages young readers to embrace their future with a strong sense of sisterhood and celebration. With full-color art by celebrated fine artist Ekua Holmes throughout, this collection offers guidance and is a gift for anyone who reads it.

Absolutely beautiful collection of poems and the accompanying artwork is stunning. I felt so connected to many of the poems especially How Sisters Love, Love Shows Up, When I Say I Love Us, and Phenomenon. Got this as a Christmas gift and so happy to have gotten it!

I felt every word of this!

Listening to her read the audiobook was like going to a spoken word show, but I also felt compelled to order a print copy and buying a book in 2 formats is something I basically never do.

Poetry paired with lovely illustrations that just felt so empowering and heartfelt. So excited to continue following Watson's work with her upcoming novel!!

I think a common theme in my improperly oriented photos is a cat! Litsy is anti-cat. Which I mean, makes sense considering #catsagainstreading I guess.
