Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks

As a love of Jason Reynolds and someone who used to walk home from school, I was expecting to love this book. It was good, and I liked it, but that's about it. The story is a good reminder for everyone that you never know what someone else is facing, even people that you just cross the street with. It was also a good reminder of how connected we all are - if you've lived long enough somewhere and you get to talking to someone else who lives there, you'll probably find that you've got something in common based on where you live, like an extremely kind crossing guard who helps make sure everyone gets where they're going, safely.
