The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond by Brenda Woods*

I love Violet Diamond!  She is funny, genuine and so real.  
Ms. Woods has an amazing gift of making a character come alive.
Violet is biracial and is trying to figure out who she is and where she belongs.  Her mom is white; so is her older sister.  Her African American father died before she was born.  She has no interaction with his side of the family.  With her tenacity, Violet discovers a way to meet her black grandmother and discover an entire new part of herself.
***Highly recommend.
