In this sequel to her Garvey’s Choice, author Nikki Grimes follows Garvey during the COVID lockdown. Again, she tells the entire, beautiful story in verse using tanka poems. Garvey feels scared and isolated because of the pandemic but also helpless as the George Floyd murder highlights the struggles that black people face in the community. When his father contracts Covid, his fears heighten. He uses his talent to help heal spirits battered by the trying times. (FIC GRI)
