A Black boy explores his shifting emotions in this story about a community wounded after a police shooting. Author Zetta Elliott, whose featured book at this year’s National Book Festival is “The War of the Witches,” shifts gears from her fantasy novels to read aloud from her picture book “A Place Inside of Me: A Poem to Heal the Heart.”
