    Recognize!: An Anthology Honoring and Amplifying Black Life
  • I just used stories from the book with 7th graders as models for them to write their own school memories. The premise of having authors write a true incident and then take off from that memory to create fiction is just fantastic.

  • I loved this book because it truly captures what every black parent, grandparent, immigrants, others person has gone through. My heart would beat so fast with understanding about the experiences of every writer in this book. But there is also an underlying theme of hope.

    I am so glad I purchased this book.
