To the left, on a pale rose colored background, in white text reads: MacKids School & Library. Onyx & Beyond Teacher's Guide To the right is the cover of Onyx & Beyond by Amber McBride. The cover depicts a young black boy, arms crossed and wearing a white t-shirt, looking up at the sky. Behind two multicolored wings stretch out as if from his back with layers of blue, pink, and yellow feathers. Each feather has a word written on it, for example: Stars, Mama, Freedom
Did you know we've created a teacher's guide for ONYX & BEYOND by @ambsmcbride.bsky.social?

THE LEAVING ROOM (Out Oct. 7th) 🖤🏳️🌈🫙
Gospel is the Keeper of the Leaving Room--a place all young people must phase through when they die. The young are never ready to leave; they need a moment to remember and a Keeper to help their wispy souls along.

my grandma passed yesterday morning from complications associated with dementia.
ONYX & BEYOND was inspired by my dad & his mom. we wrote it as a gift to her, to show what dementia can be like but also to highlight how Black families take care of & love each other.
all the moonstones 🖤
Congrats!!!!!!
