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!
