This biography about Nikki Grimes is informative. It gives an insight into an author's life that faced struggles and tribulations all through childhood. It has real pictures of Grimes and the places she has been. I enjoyed reading it because Nikki has been through so much, and has an awesome coming up story.
This book is written in a way that may be difficult to follow for young children. It is slightly wordy, and the words are slightly complex. The story does go in chronological order, so it is easy in that sense, but it does not flow very well. Overall, it is a good read if the reader is doing research on Nikki Grimes. (

3-6, I have read some of Nikki Grimes work in the past and she is a great author. She was big on kids having representations of themselves in her work and i think she nailed it for her work. She is very detailed and her work helps inspire. (

Nikki Grimes is an author who told stories about the life she actually lived. Her books and poetry are known to tackle tough subjects and that is good for kids to have. Grimes was disappointed that the books she read growing up didn't have any kids with her story. She vowed to tell her story and it has won her many awards. We talked in class about representation being important and i'm glad Ms Grimes was brave enough to represent the kids who struggle. (
