A heartbreaking and powerful story about a black boy killed by a police officer, drawing connections through history, from award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes. Only the living can make the world better. Live and make it better. Twelve-year-old Jerome is shot by a police officer who mistakes his toy gun for a real threat. As a ghost, he observes the devastation that's been unleashed on his family and community in the wake of what they see as an unjust and brutal killing. Soon Jerome meets another ghost: Emmett Till, a boy from a very different time but similar circumstances. Emmett helps Jerome process what has happened, on a journey towards recognizing how historical racism may have led to the events that ended his life. Jerome also meets Sarah, the daughter of the police officer, who grapples with her father's actions. Once again Jewell Parker Rhodes deftly weaves historical and socio-political layers into a gripping and poignant story about how children and families face the complexities of today's world, and how one boy grows to understand American blackness in the aftermath of his own death.Binding Type: Hardcover

I’m a 5’6’’ 140lbs ish woman and I got a Medium
Size: Small, Color: Black, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Paid 10 bucks ! Got a medium . I am 5’6” 142lbs . It’s thick & 100% cotton. A ‘medium ’ seemed big but I intentionally ran it on high heat in the dryer & it shrunk so it fits me perfectly . The sleeves go closer to my elbows than women’s shirts… which I love. The crewneck is perfect so I can do burpees without worrying about plunging necklines. I wear a 36C bra and this tshirt is comfortable around my chest & shoulders. I carry extra weight on my belly and it’s still comfortable. Absolutely love how it looks on me. It says RELAXED fit in the title so I don’t understand why people are grumbling about the looser fit. I love it — thank you Amazon, for offering 100% cotton clothing

Little bit on the small side
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Run a little small, but the quality of the shirt seems to be pretty good. It is thick and nice. Warm and softness are both good.

Impressed for the most part
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Going to give it 5-stars for now, well see how well they hold up after a few washes.
They for sure feel like nice heavy-weight shirts.
I like them alot for that reason.
They have a boxy-fit though, so not "fitted" at all but thats fine for me because I am using them as under-shirts.
