Nikki Grimes
Open Mike Friday is everyone's favorite day in Mr. Ward's English class. On Fridays, his 18 high-school students dare to relax long enough to let slip the poets, painters, readers, and dreamers that exist within each of them.
Talkin' About Bessie: The Story of Aviator Elizabeth Coleman
Nikki Grimes, E.B. Lewis
Although she was only 11 when the Wright brothers took their historic flight, Elizabeth "Bessie" Coleman vowed to become the first African-American female pilot.
Nikki Grimes
Alternating between biblical times and contemporary Brooklyn, New York, Nikki Grimes masterfully tells the stories of two boys separated by time, geography, and culture who struggle with their fractured families. Dark Sons is a story of love and forgiveness, and the comfort brought by faith in difficult times.
