Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi, Yusef Salaam
4.0

Beautiful. Thought-provoking. Timely.

A must-read novel in verse.

''I have a crayon and paper. I didn't know that I could hold this little bit of freedom in my hands."

Art teachers - put this on a poster in your classroom now. Art is a way for all of us to share and express our thoughts and feelings. That appreciation for the arts is shared by Ibi Zoboi and Yusef Salaam in this YA novel.
