📖Recommend for Grades 7 and up📖
by Jason Reynolds
This
isn’t a made-up story, or a book of facts; it’s a poem. Jason Reynolds
originally performed this poem at the Kennedy Center for the unveiling of the Martin
Luther King Jr. Memorial and later as a tribute to Walter Dean Myers. It’s
about dreams and dreamers; Reynolds’ own dreams, and what he thought his life
would be like at various ages he has since surpassed. Despite where it was
performed and that it is a YA book, this poem is as its name states: for
everyone.
A wonderful and quick read. This is
a poem you may want to read over and over again. Jason Reynolds performs the
audio version of it and it is worth the 20-30 minute listen as well. Fans of
poetry, Jason Reynolds, and/or inspiring works should not miss this.
