What a lovely and interesting way to present a biography! I understand why it focused more on Butler's childhood, given the target age of the book, but I do wish there had been a little bit more detail on her adulthood, too. Regardless, it maybe really hopeful that more young (black) girls could find inspiration and follow in her footsteps.

this is such a cool way to write a biography!

Beautifully written! This book was beautifully written and extremely informative. I loved all the poems and then the detailed explanations afterwards. I recommend this book for fans of Octavia E. Butler and for people who want to read her books but haven't yet. I bought the Kindle ebook version but I will be ordering a physical copy as well, thank you so much for this beautiful and unique biography.
