Excellent read. Woodson writes like she knows children, which is a rare treat in my experience. This is a wonderful story about difference, understanding, and empathy.

Thoroughly enjoying this read. The characters all feel authentically like children, which is nice vs most of my media diet.
The book asks: Who would you harbor? It asks once with a historical example - Indigenous people vs settlers - and once with the characters - the trauma of being a Black boy in America vs a White boy's discomfort.
Does this book do good work? If you meet it on its own terms, I think it does.
