“A fittingly expansive tribute to Butler’s visionary mind and the childhood that sowed it.”—Publishers Weekly
“Zoboi pairs elegantly crafted poems with direct, informative prose to create an emotionally charged look at a Black woman who changed the literary landscape, writing in a genre dominated by white authors and white characters. [T]his is a compelling blend of artistry and nonfiction that will likely send readers directly to Butler’s books.”—BCCB
