What the Fireflies Knew by Kai Harris

emotional reflective sad

5.0

Kai Harris wrote a beautiful coming-of-age story about a Black family of four in 1995 from the perspective of 11-year-old Kenyatta (aka KB). After her father dies, KB and her teenage sister Nia move in with their estranged grandfather after their mother disappears. 

It is a heart-wrenching, beautifully written story about family, race, and overcoming obstacles when life begins to fall apart.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
