About This Book
Zora And Me offers a fictionalized glimpse into the childhood of Zora Neale Hurston, seen through the eyes of her best friend, Carrie. Set in the early 1900s in Eatonville, Florida, the first incorporated all-Black town in the United States, the story explores themes of friendship, community, and the subtle yet pervasive presence of racial prejudice. As Zora and Carrie investigate a local mystery, they learn about justice, fairness, and the power of their own voices. This book is an excellent conversation starter about American history, cultural identity, and standing up for what is right, suitable for children aged 8-12.
