Books of the Year In this powerful, affirming poem by award-winning
author Zetta Elliott, a Black child explores his shifting emotions
throughout the year. There is a place inside of me a space deep
down inside of me where all my feelings hide. Summertime is filled
with joy--skateboarding and playing basketball--until his community
is deeply wounded by a police shooting. As fall turns to winter and
then spring, fear grows into anger, then pride and peace. In her
stunning debut, illustrator Noa Denmon articulates the depth and
nuances of a child's experiences following a police
shooting--through grief and protests, healing and community--with
washes of color as vibrant as his words. Here is a groundbreaking
narrative that can help all readers--children and adults
alike--talk about the feelings hiding deep inside each of us.
