Wow!  I hate that this book must exist, but it must.  A black man was shot.  Exactly why or what happened is not known.  It doesn’t need to be known because this book is about how it impacts the town's kids.  They see and hear things just like adults, but they need more context, more explanation on why things happen.  They also want to know how to keep it from happening again.  Everything about this book is spot on.  Even the information in the back is expansive, important, and necessary.  For those out there trying to ban this book because it might make white children feel inferior or sad for history and current society, too bad.  Because the black, brown, and other children feel worse as it is their people, they see these bad things happening to.  This book is a very important resource that should be in all libraries and schools.  We need to learn from history to make a better society, for if we don’t we will repeat it.
