In accessible, engaging verse and prose, this is a story of a girl's journey to heal, grow, and forgive herself. To read it is to see how many shades there are in grief, and to know that someone understands.

#RenéeWatson understands grief. In this beautiful new book about loss, grief, love and healing she takes us through a journey that feels like a comforting hug. All the Blues in the Sky is a must read for anyone experiencing loss. A must purchase for libraries. This book is truly amazing.

A gorgeous "semi-autobiographical collection of poems" by #RenéeWatson with lush and evocative illustrations by #EkuaHolmes. #BlackGirlYouAreAtlas is a celebration of culture, being a girl, and a call to action for embracing one's whole self. 📚👍🏻

“We were born on the water…” I grew up thinking my history began with slavery. The #1619Project proves otherwise. They told @nhannahjones.bsy.social to stop.

She said absolutely not!

New episode out now!

Started reading Renée Watson’s latest book, ALL THE BLUES IN THE SKY about grief and loss for young people. I’m halfway through and haven’t cried yet, but it’s coming. Bloomsbury sent the advanced copies out with a packet of tissues! lol

Congrats on another beautiful book Renée! #reneewatson
