Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo

5.0

This book had me in a CHOKEHOLD from start to finish, I never wanted to put it down! Particularly near the end, the imagery and DRAMA of it all!!! This book does not stray from asking hard questions and bringing up difficult topics like identity, parenting, and the realities for young women in and outside of the US. I particularly loved this from the perspective of a future educator, this book has so many opportunities for discussion and learning with students, and I think that it is written in a way that is accessible to a lot of readers, and I think is good for looking at how verse can be used outside of single, read-alone poems.
