Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin is an outstanding reflection on the trauma of the past two years for Black people in the US. This is a moving and timely poem beautifully presented alongside Griffin's art. A very special title. 

The audio edition also includes a lovely conversation between the author and the illustrator. 

TO TEACH? 🍎 
This is a no-brainer: absolutely, yes. This would be good for teaching poetry and visual with a civics/current events focus, and the audiobook performance could dovetail with performance poetry techniques and aural aspects of poetry.
