A History of Me by Adrea Theodore

5.0

Distinctive art paired with a distinctive voice. This book doesn’t hold back, and the descriptions of feeling like an outsider because of skin color are especially traumatic. It shows how important unbiased history classes and CRT are. I adored the positivity and love radiating from the mom telling this story and I hope all the kids who read it get that good feel in their heart when they see that last illustration with the daughter looking at herself in the mirror and seeing her ancestors reflected back. “I hope  she will see that she is free to be anything she wants to be.”
