If you haven’t seen this short film about the writer Jason Reynolds, it’s well worth taking the ten minutes or so to watch it. His books tend to be grouped in the Young Adult (13 +) section of libraries, but some are also considered Middle Grade (8 - 12). It’s a beautiful portrait of a talented writer doing essential work. By filmmaker Kristian Melom.
