Inheritance A Visual Poem

"In this small book, every square inch of every page is full of color and visual depictions of the poem's evocative lines. The palette in Pippin's illustrations-every shade of brown and warm terracotta earth tones-echoes the poem's sentiments... [a] beautiful, inviting presentation of Acevedo's poem." - Booklist (starred review)

"An incredible amount of reflection appears in this slim volume, making this a wonderful choice for group discussions. Brave, sharp, and powerful." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"In spoken-word lines that explicate the tension between what people say and what they mean, Acevedo (Clap When You Land) confronts the cultural specter of hair-related prejudice through the lens of colonial history and Afro-Dominican identity." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
