# Inheritance: A Visual Poem - Hardcover

by **Elizabeth Acevedo** (Author), **Andrea Pippins** (Illustrator)

**They tell me to "fix" my hair.**

**And by fix, they mean straighten, they mean whiten;**

**but how do you fix this shipwrecked**

**history of hair?**

In her most famous spoken-word poem, author of the Pura Belpré-winning novel-in-verse _The Poet X_ Elizabeth Acevedo embraces all the complexities of Black hair and Afro-Latinidad--the history, pain, pride, and powerful love of that inheritance.

Paired with full-color illustrations by artist Andrea Pippins in a format that will appeal to fans of Mahogany L. Browne's _Black Girl Magic_ or Jason Reynolds's _For Everyone_, this poem can now be read in a vibrant package, making it the ideal gift, treasure, or inspiration for readers of any age.
