Featured Book: A Dime a Dozen
1998, by Nikki Grimes

Reflecting on her own childhood experiences, Nikki Grimes offers twenty-eight poems exploring the pleasures and pains of charting your own path--and taking a few lumps along the way. In words straight from the heart and straight from the hip, this honest, uplifting collection will spark ideas, light a path, and encourage young readers to discover the person they might someday become.
