A young Black girl in Minneapolis grapples with the death of George Floyd.
In this candid and powerful book, a young girl hears about an unfolding tragedy in her neighborhood. It's on the news, on the radio, and talked about in her community, and she learns of the murder of George Floyd—and about who he was.
As she tries to reckon with the senseless violence of his killing, she finds solace at George Floyd Square. The space is filled with the art of protest and resistance, and she is moved to create her own signs and drawings, lifting her voice to harmonize with the outpouring: "We miss you, George Floyd."
For children working through George Floyd's murder and the police violence plaguing our country, and for the grown-ups trying to help them, this book is an invitation to open up difficult conversations.
With striking illustrations reflecting Floyd's world and a child's perspective, Shannon Gibney's clear-eyed account offers healing and inspiration for the strength and solidarity we need to build a more peaceful and just future.
