Crow Milk
by Rick Agran
Category: Juvenile Fiction

In Crow Milk you will find the unloved things, forgotten or unseen, returned to life, and celebrated in Agran's clear vision: crows, abandoned children, people with AIDS, the tattooed and marked ones, even famous writers playing basketball in dreamtime. In this vision, the children have seen far too much but survive into artful singing. Often, it's the adults who choose not to see and suffer the consequences. Agran cherishes all that his eye beholds. He holds it all up for us to see, with the same humor and sass as his crows, as if to say, Don't you see how it all shines? --Mekeel McBride.
