I read this book and found myself reading some pages more than once to fully understand the meaning. Once I read Love that dog and saw that Walter Dean Myers was such an influence I went back to the book to read the full excerpt of Love That Boy. Everyone has someone in their life that they love and often will compare someone to something they love. I enjoyed this particular poem because it was repetative and really made a statement.
The pictures really put my mind into another time period. I enjoyed a visual beside the poems of who it could be about or someone like the picture. I found this book to be relatable and an interesting “subject” Brown Angels, because we do not often see books dedicated to such an intimate subject.
