Ain't Burned All the Bright by Jason Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A beautiful work of art/lyrical poetry from Jason Reynolds and Jason Griffin. It illustrates the story of a black family surviving the initial COVID-19 lockdowns during the spring and summer of 2020. It's a story we can all relate to: a family member sick, the constant barrage of the news, the BLM protests, and the extreme boredom coupled with a growing anxiety. It aptly identifies and acknowledges those feelings we had during those troubling months while personifying those feeling through beautifully constructed artwork. An important piece of art to commemorate a difficult time in our history.
