A powerful story told through linked poems which raise questions of race and identity in an honest and tangible way for younger readers.
How can Irene and Charles work together on their classroom poetry project? They don’t know each other…and they’re not sure they want to. Irene Latham, who is white, and Charles Waters, who is black, use this fictional setup to delve into different experiences of race in a relatable way, exploring such topics as hair, hobbies, and family dinners. Accompanied by artwork from acclaimed illustrators Sean Qualls and Selina Alko, this remarkable collaboration invites readers of all ages to join the dialogue by putting their own words to their experiences.
