And The Stars Were Burning Brightly por Danielle Jawando

I found this book reaching into my chest and grabbing my heart crushing it, this was a heart wrenching book that made me so sad and angry at the same time. Dealing with topics like bullying, suicide and mental health to name just a few, in a way that made me sob so much, it wasn’t an easy read, it was very thought provoking and I did give me a big book hangover but I am so glad I was able to read it. It has really opened my eyes to the injustice people face just because they are different.

And The Stars Were Burning Brightly por Danielle Jawando

That was a particularly difficult and gut wrenching read. I suppose that this is a YA novel but it tackles, very graphically, bullying and suicide. I expect this to be an incredibly triggering book for vulnerable people so I would suggest talking to a trusted adult first so a discussion can take place around whether it is suitable to read. This book does not hold back and you really are right there experiencing everything that led to this incredibly talented young man's suicide and the aftermath for his family. It is for this reason I am not hiding the content warnings as i think they need to be read. Raw and brutal.

CW: Suicide - described, horrific "jokes" made about suicide, vicious online bullying, physical assault, homomisia, traumatic levels of guilt, gaslighting, catfishing, anxiety, depression, body-shaming, racial slurs, racism… (mais)

Maya Angelou: (History Book for Kids, Biography Book… por Danielle Jawando

These are a nice step-up from the Little People, Big Dreams series by [a:Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara|14886582|Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1518331707p2/14886582.jpg] for kids who have outgrown those -- these are longer, for slightly more mature readers, but still have a similar look and feel to the Little People books.
