Name: Afton

Reading: Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls, T Kira Madden

Why did you want to read this? This book has been a huge teacher text for me. It’s incredible at the sentence level--I love the scrappiness of her sounds, consonants especially. I want everyone to listen to and read her. 

How did you record yourself? In the middle of the day, I turned off the heat, which is loud, and sat on my bed with my phone.
