If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I read this novel, the story about how people from different ethnicities come together and the view of the outside world, and I think about my brothers. And my boy cousins. And all the students I have who have told me that they want to be Black. It's not something I've ever understood. And maybe, after reading If You Come Softly I hope maybe you'll understand where I'm coming from.

Here you'll find the readings and reflections of an 8th grade reading teacher. I agree with Taylor Mali - If I'm going to change the world, it'll be one eighth grader at a time.
