Yaddo Reads: Black Brother, Black Brother (age 10+)
Building community, sharing diverse stories, and inspiring children to read.

Our friend Elijah reads from the story Black Brother, Black Brother by Jewell Parker Rhodes. When an incident with "King" Alan leads to Donte's arrest and suspension, he knows the only way to get even is to beat the king of the school at his own game: fencing. With the help of a former Olympic fencer, Donte embarks on a journey to carve out a spot on Middlefield Prep's fencing team and to maybe learn something about himself along the way.
