This is a fascinating biography of Octavia Butler, the iconic author. I had never read anything by Butler, and really didn’t know much about her. This books was perfect – it’s short, includes poetry, direct quotes from Butler, photographs, etc. The author does a great job of explaining the poetry pieces without dumbing it down. The writing is really beautiful. One of my favorites so far this year.
This book is written for middle grade readers, but I would also recommend this to teens and adults interested in Butler’s life.
