Wow. Simplistic yet profound. I’m in constant awe of Reynolds and was moved by this manifesto that combines simplistic illustrations and few words. I can only imagine how this strikes as a Black reader - the truths of the past, present and future. I hope tomorrow brings change, light and love for us all.Get yourself a friend like Michelle, who preorders and shares books like this.
absolutely stunning art+poetry 🥲 i almost cried pls the fact that its so serious yet so sad at the same time 😫this book is seperated into 3 𝘣𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘴 - focuses on BLM protests, conflicts & covid 19. apart from the important topics, its definitely something for people who can appreciate visual art which comes along with it. i was absolutely blown away with the captivating collages that capture v well with the words, in my opinion. i also honestly think its a book that is meant to be read slowly...

And those who already do, you’ll be nodding yep, yep that’s exactly how it is. This is a story of what it is to be Black . In America. Right now. This book is told in three breaths, and...
Really don't have words for how amazing this one is.
2020 - through the eyes of a young black man. His father ill and quarantined in a bedroom, his mother tied to the news coverage of George Floyd's murder, and he and each of his siblings coping in their own way. This is a mix of words and art that flow seamlessly and so effectively together. Both heartbreaking and hopeful, this is an exquisite read and the book is an incredible work of visual art. It is evocative, thought provoking, and a perfect stepping off point for both discussion around the...
Jason Reynolds is a national treasure. Named the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature in 2020 by the Library of Congress, Reynolds has frequently been nominated—and often won—practically every youth literature award. He has a natural gift to connect with young people and frequently tours the US speaking to underrepresented communities and getting kids everywhere excited about books. All this helps to see how Ain’t Burned All the Bright, a gorgeous artistic collaboration with Jas
Each page it's own work of art. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
