Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold

5.0

Recently I read a remark in Pat Smith's column (she's CEO of the Women's Media Center) that humanity should look to African Americans for help imagining a way out of the climate crisis as they've been imagining a way out of slavery and bondage since arriving on North American shores and enacting their own imagination.

I thought of that when I read Tar Beach as I could feel the author beautifully imagining different, better realities than what America had at the time she wrote this book. Thank you to Faith Ringgold for all of her beautiful artwork and this lovely book. This book is a delight!
