I reviewed Jason Reynolds' new book at the Washington Post!

It was both an honor and a welcome challenge to review Ain’t Burned All The Bright, written by Jason Reynolds and illustrated by Jason Griffin, for the Washington Post! Check out the review here, and then definitely get a copy of their ambitious and moving book.
