Tomi Adeyemi quotes

I had a lot of different reasons for writing the book, but at its core was the desire to write for black teenage girls growing up reading books they were absent from. That was my experience as a child. 'Children of Blood and Bone' is a chance to address that. To say you are seen. (Tomi Adeyemi)
I saw the opportunity to show the beauty in the culture and show that these words sound magical. We're so used to using Latin, but if J.K. Rowling saw magic in that, you can see magic in your own culture. And if you can see it, you can help other people to see it. View quote

The thing is that underneath we are all humans...Everyone has people they love and people they want to protect, everyone has things they are afraid of or that cause them pain. View quote
