“Tomorrow will be better than today.” Adunni is so full of resilience and bravery and love, and she is unique and beautiful, and wise beyond her years. She’s one of the smartest characters I’ve gotten to know and I am so humbled by her story. Her relationship with Ms. Tia is fascinating and I feel so inspired by both her and Adunni. Daré’s voice and her writing choices to illustrate her title character’s growth are incredible and make for the most interesting read. I also learned a lot- about Nigeria of course, but also about my own bias and the importance of using my voice, trusting my gut, and keeping the people that care for me close.
