An unforgettable New York Times bestseller from multi-award-winning Jacqueline Woodson, celebrating the friendships formed when a group of children create a safe harbour for each other.

From parents and privilege to racism and deportation, the kids give each other the strength to discuss these tough topics, grow braver and face the rest of their lives.
