Giving more readers access to this story is so important in today’s political climate. Focusing on a summer with their mother who does printing for the Black Panthers helps Delphine and her sisters see another side of things after being raised by a southern grandmother and dad in Brooklyn, NY.

The story flowed well and the characters were well developed. I recommend this book and look forward to more from this author.

The Gaither Sisters trilogy is one of my favorite series, and Rita Williams-Garcia is an author who really know how to write for kids. I am so excited to see this amazing novel in graphic format.
I loved how an already great story is given more life by illustrating it. I thought that the graphic version makes an already well-written and fun book even more engaging for reluctant readers.
I am beyond pleased to see more books by Black authors released in graphic novel format Please keep these coming. Our kids need them.

This was a great graphic novel that looked at many different issues outside of the historical issues the story is set around. I liked the way that the daughters felt at odds with their mother while also trying to understand her motivations for leaving. I think this also serves as a great way for students to learn about new historical ideas and be motivated to learn more on their own
