FAVORITE QUOTE in THE STARS BENEATH YOUR FEET
Big Rose repeats a poetic phrase her grandmother taught her throughout the book. Rose and Lolly are both grieving and dealing with traumatic loss: Rose's mother committed suicide and Lolly's brother was killed by gang violence. Both find solace in creating. They build elaborate Lego cities in the storage room of the after-school program and find comfort and healing in the process. Rose makes an exact replica of St. Nicholas Projects and she adds stars to the bottom of her buildings to represent all the people who have died.
“Rosamund, when you die, they bury you, but your soul flies to the stars. Your mama, your daddy—they were buried under the ground but they’re stars now, girl, stars beneath our feet.”
