This book ‘clamo[u]r[s] for the right to opacity’ by not simply requesting a voice and your ear, but asking that you look - to see her clearly against a plain white background. The lyrical words and beautiful images use the eyes to make each character opaque - visible - undeniable. We shouldn’t be afraid of our differences and recent events only prove that there are still things we can do.

So many switches in the world: light switches, computer switches, network switches, and now code-switching! I’ve started reading a tiny bit on pidgin and creole languages... It’s made me realise so much about what code-switching actually means to me. P.S. Thanks for your code-switching contributions on Facebook!

I may be an advocate of print books because I have an intense desire to fill a library that can match my ego, but they truly are irreplaceable for our children.
