Dyamonde Daniel is excited about the local library's poetry contest, and
so is her friend Free. The prize is one hundred dollars?just think what
they could buy with that much money! But when they find out that
Damaris, one of their classmates, has been living in a homeless shelter,
their ideas about what it means to be rich or poor start to change. And
when they get to know Damaris, they realize the one who could use the
prize money the most also happens to be the best poet in class.
In this fantastic follow-up to Make Way for Dyamonde Daniel, Nikki
Grimes tackles big issues like homelessness in a sensitive, kid-friendly
way. Dymonde's can-do attitude and lively spirit will endear her to
readers.
