Piecing Me Together by Renée WatsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a YA novel that all teachers and non-profit leaders should read--loved how it dug down into the "why are we providing this program" to teens? Not too preachy, and the phrase "white savior" was never used, but it definitely made me think about it. Jade, a scholarship student at a private school in Portland, Oregon, is torn between wanting the opportunities her school can give her, while also thinking that she doesn't need to be "fixed." She is a collage artist--love how art and finding her voice plays an important part in the novel.
