Feathers by Jacqueline Woodson
Set in the 1970s, this poignant story follows Frannie, a young African American girl, as she navigates the complexities of race, hope, and understanding in her predominantly black neighborhood. When a mysterious white boy, dubbed "the Jesus Boy," joins her class, Frannie and her friends grapple with questions of identity and belonging. Through her interactions with the new student, Frannie begins to see the world in new ways, exploring themes of faith, friendship, and the power of hope in overcoming life's challenges.
