This book transported me back to 2020.
I am horrified, heartbroken, terrified, hopeful, tearful and absolutely shaken by how blessed I am to have survived 2020. A lot of people did not. That's a sad reality and absolutely heartbreaking.

1st book of April 2022 and 13th of the year:
Following the story of a Black American family in 2020, this is such a powerful and moving book about the Covid pandemic/lockdown and the horrific violence against Black Americans, and the impact of those things and more on people. The art was absolutely beautiful and impactful, and the story, how the breathing metaphor was used, and the lack of a lot of words, allowing the art to tell a lot of the story, were so important and done so well. I highly recommend picking this up! TW for police brutality, racism, hate crimes, death, violence, gun violence, the Covid pandemic, sickness, grief, murder, and medical content📚
