Summary |
Laylah is your typical third grader—she loves playing music and with Lego, hanging with her BFF Ria, and spending time with her family. When her grandmother Irene suggests Laylah enter a reading contest, Laylah’s not sure. She’s always dreamed of being a writer, but reading doesn’t always come easily. What if she stumbles on an unknown word in front of everyone? After some encouragement from her family, Laylah agrees, and soon finds herself on a surprising journey as she discovers the power of words, her African American heritage, Chicago history, and her true potential. |
