As Fast As Words Could Fly
Review
By Booklist
From the beautiful cover picture of the boy’s fingers on the typewriter keys, to the ugly view of the racist bus driver who tells the black pupils to “get to the back,” Velasquez’s handsome oil paintings on watercolor paper bring close the details of one boy’s struggle. Told from a personal viewpoint and appended with a powerful author’s note, this is a story to share across generations.
