This book has sparked amazing conversations about identity, family, and culture. Some students who were hesitant readers are now fully engaged, eager to share their thoughts and even asking for more books like this one!\r\n\r\nOne of the best parts has been watching students who don't always speak up in class find their voices during our discussions. They relate to Marcus' journey and are excited to share their own experiences. It's been a joy to see them not only improve as readers but also grow in confidence.\r\n\r\nYour support has not only helped my students grow as readers but has also made them feel seen and valued.
