Overview
A coming of age story that follows a middle school aged Black girl as she learns to embrace her identity and individual features through the help of friendship and writing.
In a world where beauty standards are dominated by Eurocentric ideals, Zoe Franklin, a young Black middle schooler, grapples with microaggressions, bullying, and the temptation of skin-lightening creams, all while living in a predominantly white neighborhood. But when she meets a new girl in her community that finally looks like her, Zoe's journey takes a turn towards self-discovery. Black Girls Don’t Get Love is an intimate portrayal of the defining moments that shape Zoe's path towards embracing her identity and challenging the "strong Black woman" stereotype that so many young girls are forced to become. This early middle-grade novel, with its heartfelt narrative and relatable protagonist, invites readers into Zoe's world as she finds her voice, her strength, and her self-worth.
