All I can say is Wow!
This book was so awesome that I had to share. It's a collaborative project by one of the funniest, intelligent, black women that I've ever met and her brother. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Pendleton and not having known her as an author I was unsure of what to expect. I can now say that I was pleasantly surprised.
At first glance this would appear to be your basic children's book; but it's so much more than that. Ms. Pendleton tells of her and her brother's experiences in the NY Foster Care system. The story is written using simple, clear language that serves highlight heartfelt story. I won't lie, I had a tear in my eye by the end. I didn't even care that the other folks on the train were looking at me a bit strangely since I was tearing over a children's book. This truly is a book that can and should be read by all. I can't wait to see what they come up with next!
