“It’s All Relative” is our book bundle all about growing up within different types of families. Dear Big Brother is an ode to a nurturing older brother, and portrays a softer side of Chicano masculinity; A Rocky Start tells the autobiographical tale of a present-day South Bronx educator’s childhood and some of the tough hurdles he overcame; and Fish for Jimmy is the story of the author’s family, who was imprisoned in Japanese internment camps during World War II. This gift set includes one hard cover book, two soft cover books, plus a limited edition hand-printed patch by Booklyn artist Josh MacPhee for our exhibition Lil’ Radicals: Multicultural & Social Justice Kids’ Books in the 21st Century.
