These titles are great to read this month — and any month. Every month.
Late last month, writer Jason Reynolds won the Margaret A. Edwards Award from the American Library Association, a lifetime achievement award that honors an author and their body of work for "significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature."
Add this to the many, many honors Reynolds has already won — including the John Newbery Medal and the Carnegie Medal. He's also twice been a finalist for the National Book Award. Reynolds is a terrific storyteller, an honest writer and a truthteller about growing up Black in America. His writing is both heart-stopping and funny. If you're looking for something to read during Black History Month — or anytime — you'll find nobody better. Yes, he writes for teens, but these books are for anyone. Everyone.
