I Was Their American Dream by Malaka GharibThis summer we are asking 9th graders to read I Was Their American Dream by Malaka Gharib. This graphic memoir follows Gharib from her childhood into high school (and then later college and work) as she navigates her multicultural identities. This book will serve as the foundational text for the 9th grade Responsive Education course students will take in either the fall or spring semester next year.
Available in paperback via local and online retailers, there are also copies in all local public libraries and we have several copies on our Sora eBook platform
