I LOVE IT! it was such heart-warming book. I loved Nellie Lee, she was just such a strong little girl who went through so much, but never burdened anyone. The love she had for her family was just 10/10!!
I really wish that more people saw the world like the Love family, it’s 2022 and I just don’t think we are showing enough love to one another. This book is just the think every human being should read!! ( )

Another great read from a Diaries author, Patricia McKissack once again brings forth the very real and human history of people from our past, more specifically our African American community within this country. She tells a captivating story of American history and tensions as well as the reality for people of the times. None of these books come across as preachy or overly political, they are just the honest to god truth of history. They are a mirror of American people’s past the good and the bad. A good and easy read for kids and a way to introduce history in an interesting way that most classes don’t really cover. ( )

I don't remember much of these books as individual books, but I remember reading them all as a young, avid reader. I think that ultimately these books are the reason why I love historical fiction novels so much. They all did such a great job of taking me to a different time and place and making it come alive, seeing the world through an older, historical lens. I highly recommend any of the Dear America books to younger readers who love history and need to get hooked on reading! ( )
