Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
by Mildred D. Taylor
Buy on AmazonThis was one of my favorites as a child and still is. Though Cassie Logan’s story is set decades before I was born, she, like me, was a black girl living in poverty in Mississippi. She was the hero I aspired to be, and as a reader, this was the first time I read a book and saw myself on its pages.
