Summary

Amid dual national crises of a pandemic and outrage over racism and police
brutality, books provide opportunities both to learn more and to find
distraction from reality. Jeffrey Brown talks to writer Jason Reynolds, the
Library of Congress’ ambassador for young people’s literature, about summer
reading lists for youth that fit the current moment. It's part of our arts
and culture series, Canvas.
