Because Claudette

by Tracey Baptiste, Tonya Engel (illustrator)

Description

In this moving story, Claudette’s life is shaped by the people who love her and the choices that test her courage. As her world shifts—through family, community, and the pressures of growing up—she learns what it means to hold onto her identity while still making room for hope. Told with warmth and emotional clarity, the narrative explores themes of belonging, resilience, and the quiet power of self-advocacy. With its accessible, heartfelt storytelling, the book invites readers to reflect on how small moments can become turning points in a young person’s journey.
