Concrete Kids

Published 13 October 2020
Pocket Change Collective is a series of small books with big ideas from today’s leading activists and artists.

Concrete Kids is an exploration of love and loss, melody and bloodshed. Musician, playwright, and educator Amyra Leon takes us on a poetic journey through her childhood in Harlem, as she navigates the intricacies of foster care, mourning, self-love, and resilience. In her signature free-verse style, she invites us all to dream with abandon - and to recognise the privilege it is to dream at all.
