Summary:
When Lewis-Giggetts wrote a piece on Black joy as a form of resistance for The Washington Post, she had no idea just how much or how widely it would resonate with parents across America. With this book she shows how joy has evolved, even in the midst of trauma, in her own life, and then details these instances of joy in the context of Black culture. - adapted from jacket
