I have found that Sharon Draper books are more relevant and true to life than any other books for African American Students. I am looking forward to reading her latest book, Just Another Hero.

Books should reflect their struggles and mirror their aspirations, not denigrate them into caricatures of reality. We’ve come too far to settle for less than the best.”

And this is why Color Online exists, to promote women of color writers and why Draper is among of my list of quality writers.
