There has been a lot of buzz around Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely‘s new book, All American Boys. It’s a story about two teenage boys – one black, one white – and the realization that racism and prejudice are still prevalent in our country. It’s a story about stereotypes and police brutality. And it’s a story about the strength of these boys and the risks they take to make the world a better place.
I’m only about 75 pages into the book, but I can already feel the importance of the story being told. This is a timely book and will provide many opportunities for meaningful conversations.
