This month, our resident blogger reports on When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds (2015).
Here's a sneak peek:
It’s no secret that teens and young adults today struggle with many intense issues that take a terrible toll. Drugs, broken homes, bullying in person and online, abuse of various sorts, and school shootings are just some of the issues they face daily that create a sense there’s no trust and safety anywhere.
Adults need to step up to help in any way they can with what they have, whether it’s money, time, sharing a hobby, talent, or skill, or just caring.
Jason Reynolds has seen the need and shares his special writing talent to help many young people.
