In this episode, host Rebecca Thandi Norman and comedian & writer Tocarra Elise dive into the 1991 Faith Ringgold classic Tar Beach. Told from the point of view of eight year old Cassie Louise Lightfoot, the book is based on the story quilt by the same artist. Tocarra shares where she was when she first read this book – her local library – what it felt like, and how it continues to impact her today. Tocarra hosts a delightful recap of children’s literature via her TikTok and Instagram.
