Summary
A Goddard CBC's Social Justice Prize Nominee • A YALSA Amazing Audiobook for Young Adults

'Amyra's wondrous awe for life in all its terror and splendor is inspiring to witness.'--Rosario Dawson (award-winning actor, singer, and activist)
'A moving, inspiring love letter to and about 'the concrete kids. The kids with a melanin kiss.''-- Kirkus Reviews
'Leon's powerful book will embolden readers find their own ways of speaking out against injustice.' -- Booklist, Starred Review

In Concrete Kids, playwright, musician, and educator Amyra León uses free verse to challenge us to dream beyond our circumstances -- and sometimes even despite them.
Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today's leading activists and artists.
Concrete Kids is an exploration of love and loss, melody and bloodshed. Musician, playwright, and educator Amyra León takes us on a poetic journey through her childhood in Harlem, as she navigates the intricacies of foster care, mourning, self-love, and resilience. In her signature free-verse style, she invites us all to dream with abandon--and to recognize the privilege it is to dream at all.
