The Books: Tears of a Tiger


Tears of a Tiger by Sharon M. Draper

The first book in Draper's powerful Hazelwood Trilogy, followed by Forged by Fire and Darkness Before Dawn, I was inspired to use Tears of a Tiger for the Book Slam when a young man I was working with on another project gave it an enthusiastic recommendation.

Tears of a Tiger joins the short list of books that made me cry, while reminding me how it important it is for we adults to really listen to what you teens are trying to tell us.
