Welcome to this edition of
What’s In My Ear!
Today’s submission is a little gem called
I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson
If you haven’t heard of this title, run out and grab it NOW!
Twins Jude and Noah have had some interesting experiences in their short lives
but the one thing constant in both of their lives is their need for each other and art.
Aside from learning about being true to yourself, death of loved ones, and art,
these kids experience life in bright, loud, in your face creative experiences that
make you realize you’re not alone.
It’s incredible. For the creative mind who sees color in everything.
This book glorifies you.
I’ll Give You The Sun could qualify as a Diversity Reading Challenge pick
because the main character is gay.
Read it.
Be true to yourself.
