The Talk by Darrin Bell

dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Holy s**t this book. This book. It needs to be gifted to everyone in the world. It should be required reading in schools. 

This graphic memoir describes Darrin Bell’s experience growing up Black in America. He writes/illustrates his own personal encounters while also depicting current and national events. We get to witness Bell’s life from 6 years old to him growing up and having kids of his own, having to decide if he wants to have The Talk with them. 

This was an incredibly powerful read and I highly recommend it.
