This project is important to me because I am a firm believer in exposing my students to books they wouldn’t necessarily read by themselves. Our next unit is a fantasy unit, and I wanted to provide a book where students see themselves, but in a way that exposes them to troubles, they may not encounter every day. The author, Tomi Adeyemi, compares the struggles of her main characters to the struggles of many black and Latino people, and she does so in a way that prompts the reader to dig deeper. My students appreciate challenging work such as this. This would help my students to grow in reading literature while being engaged.
