Praise

Praise for Cool. Awkward. Black.:

* “The collection…moves beyond representation to inspiration, serving as a touchstone for young readers and writers to build on creatively. The intentional blending the rules of genre fiction magnifies the idea of authorshipyour story, your rules, societal expectations be damned.” –The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, starred review

“This energetic compilation of narratives is a beautiful tribute to and for young people who often find themselves on the margins of their social settings…A fearless and satisfying collection of expansive stories.” –Kirkus Reviews

“Utilizing varying literary genres…the creators deftly interrogate issues of racism, homophobia and transphobia, and intimate partner violence, and depict everyday joys and pains of varied Black experiences.” –Publishers Weekly

“Reading [this anthology] feels like a mystery box where every story is the most coveted prize. [A] necessary purchase.”  –School Library Journal
