A world that sees my skin before it sees me. Based on a viral poem by Blaxican poet and activist Lesl? Honor?, and illustrated by Caldecott Honoree Cozbi A. Cabrera, this moving journey through the past, present, and future of brown and Black girls is a celebration of community, creativity, and joy--and offers a reminder of the history that inspires hope, and the hope that inspires activism. Praise for Brown Girl, Brown Girl: ✭ "Warmly, brilliantly welcoming--and not to be missed." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Lesl? Honor? is a Blaxican poet, activist, and author. She hopes that through her work she can help give voice to people of all ages and backgrounds who are often silenced and unheard and feel invisible. Born and raised in Gardena, California, she remains deeply rooted in the heritage and culture of her father, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, and her mother, who was born in Culiac?n, Sinaloa, Mexico. Lesl? lives in Chicago with her three phenomenal children: Sage, Solomon, and Scarlett. She believes that HBCUs, tacos, and gumbo can save the world.
