"Black Girl You Are Atlas" ($18, originally $19)

"As a young-adult author, I am inspired by the work and longstanding career of Renée Watson. She writes across a variety of categories and genres, uniquely approaching each story while featuring Black girl/women characters that embody vulnerability, strength, love, and growth. I highly recommend her latest, 'Black Girl You Are Atlas,' a semi-autobiographical collection of poems about growing up as a young Black girl at the intersections of race, class, and gender."

— Kim Johnson, author of "This Is My America" and "The Color of a Lie"
