From the award winning author of Fat Kid Rules the World and The Liberation of Gabriel King
comes a lyrical, middle grade gem that asks all the hard questions and
hits all the right notes--perfect for fans of Cynthia Rylant and
Mockingbird
by Kathryn Erskine
Tia lives with her mom in a high-risk neighborhood in New Orleans and
loves singing gospel in the Rainbow Choir with Keisha, her boisterous
and assertive best friend. Tia's dream is to change the world with her
voice; and by all accounts, she might be talented
enough. But when a shooting happens in her neighborhood and she learns
the truth about the crime that sent her father to prison years ago, Tia
finds she can't sing anymore. The loss prompts her to start asking the
people in her community hard questions--questions
everyone has always been too afraid to ask.
Full of humanity, Pieces of Why is a timely story that addresses grief,
healing, and forgiveness, told through the eyes of a gifted girl who
hears rhythm and song everywhere in her life.
