On General Pedra Street, The Sties.

I made you and take you made into me.

I see a pinpoint of light in the distance, Growing larger the closer I get.

My sister handles them gently, marks the pages with torn brown pieces of paper bag, wipes her hands before going beyond the hardbound covers.

She is the author of dozens of award-winning books for young adults, middle graders, and children; among her many accolades, she is a four-time Newbery Honor winner, a four-time National Book Award finalist, and a three-time Coretta Scott King Award winner.
