pickAbsolutely incredible. Will be reading this every year. It brought back the confusing feelings of living through the event. #hauntedshelf
pickThis book follows a fifth-grader named Deja as she navigates life in a diverse Brooklyn neighborhood while learning about the impact of 9/11 on her community. Through friendship, family, and the exploration of history, Deja discovers how the past shapes her identity and understanding of the world.
This book serves as a powerful tool in the classroom to foster discussions about history, empathy, and community resilience. It encourages students to engage with complex themes in a relatable way, promoting critical thinking and understanding of societal events.
My recent trip to NYC, and 9/11 Museum definitely sparked the desire read this. No words can really explain the day; one I personally remember vividly.
There was way too much going on in this. It‘s like the twists couldn‘t keep track of themselves. Maybe ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
