Because in spite of a world that might not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to stay silent. A novel about finding your voice and standing up for what you believe in, no matter how hard it is to say. Brave, bold and beautifully written - dealing with issues of race, feminism and faith.

A National Book Award Longlist title
Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth.
Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking.
But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers--especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about.
With Mami's determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school's slam poetry club, she doesn't know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can't stop thinking about performing her poems.
Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her, Xiomara refuses to be silent.

A boogie-down picture book biography about the innovative dancer Richard Col n--better known as Crazy Legs--who became one of the pioneers of breaking.
Step back, step back Crazy Legs about to bust a move.
Born in the South Bronx, Richard Col n grew up with salsa dance parties at home and DJs battling on turntables on the street. Inspired by these new beats and the moves of James Brown, neighborhood boys and girls started dancing with a mix of twists, slides, and shuffles. The rhythm of the Toprock. Drop of the Six-step. Wiggle of the Worm. A new dance form called breaking was being created, and Richard wanted to be a part of it.
With a signature style of quick and fiery footwork, Richard became known as Crazy Legs. Together with the Rock Steady Crew, he went on to perform for the president of the United States and the Queen of England, travelling the world to showcase his moves. Then Hollywood came calling and breaking was everywhere. Crazy Legs and his crew had come a long way from dance battles on the streets
Debut author Linda J. Acevedo introduces young readers to a Puerto Rican boy who pioneered a new style of dance inspired by his surroundings. Coupled with award-winning illustrator Frank Morrison's sinuous and pulsating art, Crazy Legs is an energizing ode to the Boogie DownBronx and to Hip Hop--a movement that would forever change the course of music, art, and culture.
