"In We Miss You, George Floyd, Shannon Gibney and Leeya Rose Jackson engage the topic of police brutality in a clear, accessible, and ultimately hopeful way. It is a heartening call for young readers to speak up and stay involved in the ongoing fight for justice and a moving cry for society to actively do and be better for the sake of our kids." --Tameka Fryer Brown, award-winning author of That Flag and Not Done Yet: Shirley Chisholm's Fight for Change "From its opening words, this work is unapologetic in its condemnation of Floyd's murder. Gibney writes in simple, straightforward, and age-appropriate language . The narrative doesn't just remind readers of the senseless manner of Floyd's death; it demands the recognition of his humanity. The illustrations, dominated by hues of purple, capture the cacophony of emotions that emerged in the aftermath of Floyd's death; the depiction of tears falling from the eyes of the young narrator is especially haunting and memorable. Heavy yet cathartic. We will not forget.
