"There will always be the older white woman in Walmart who stared at us with sheer disgust, or the African-American mother who looked at us and just shook her head.”
“This is the story of a little girl’s love of a green dress, a mother who tries to instill independence, and how those two things came together in the most epic and brilliant combination possible."
"I watched the expressions change on the teacher’s faces. After he punched the boy, I took him for ice cream. It is my job as his parent not to stomp out his fire but to teach him to use it for good."
