Mom's Review


Grace Lee Boggs is someone noteworthy for multiple reasons that are outlined in Gardens of Hope. From her time at the University of Chicago and with the Workers Party to civil rights work with Malcolm X to community garden development in Detroit, Boggs's life is traced in easy to follow and understand language. This quick read is a great introduction to a woman who made the changes she wanted to see and will allow young readers to easily relate to her.
