NOMINATED FOR AN NAACP IMAGE AWARD - An inspiring collection of essays by black women writers, curated by the founder of the popular book club Well-Read Black Girl, on the importance of recognizing ourselves in literature."Yes, Well-Read Black Girl is as good as it sounds. . . . Glory Edim] gathers an all-star cast of contributors--among them Lynn Nottage, Jesmyn Ward, and Gabourey Sidibe."--O: The Oprah Magazine
Remember that moment when you first encountered a character who seemed to be written just for you? That feeling of belonging remains with readers the rest of their lives--but not everyone regularly sees themselves in the pages of a book. In this timely anthology, Glory Edim brings together original essays by some of our best black women writers to shine a light on how important it is that we all--regardless of gender, race, religion, or ability--have the opportunity to find ourselves in literature. Contributors include Jesmyn Ward (Sing, Unburied, Sing), Lynn Nottage (Sweat), Jacqueline Woodson (Another Brooklyn), Gabourey Sidibe (This Is Just My Face), Morgan Jerkins (This Will Be My Undoing), Tayari Jones (An American Marriage), Rebecca Walker (Black, White and Jewish), and Barbara Smith (Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology) Whether it's learning about the complexities of femalehood from Zora Neale Hurston and Toni Morrison, finding a new type of love in The Color Purple, or using mythology to craft an alternative black future, the subjects of each essay remind us why we turn to books in times of both struggle and relaxation. As she has done with her book club-turned-online community Well-Read Black Girl, in this anthology Glory Edim has created a space in which black women's writing and knowledge and life experiences are lifted up, to be shared with all readers who value the power of a story to help us understand the world and ourselves.
Praise for Well-Read Black Girl "Each essay can be read as a dispatch from the vast and wonderfully complex location that is black girlhood and womanhood. . . . They present literary encounters that may at times seem private and ordinary--hours spent in the children's section of a public library or in a college classroom--but are no less monumental in their impact."--The Washington Post "A wonderful collection of essays."--Essence

A big hit!
Our Rottie loves these! I wanted something like the Jolly Ball but that is soft for inside the house. She's had a lot of fun with this, picking it up, tossing it, playing soccer, etc.

Great interactive toy
Size: One Size
My overall rating is a 5 stars because our dog absolutely loves the toy! It is a great tug toy and "launching" toy for fetch... Although she doesn't quite grasp the return part of fetching. She'd rather play "case me if you want it back!" I wish I had a better video but didn't think of making one until we were pretty much done playing. But you can see she's been playing hard up until this clip and is still wanting to play more... I'm the one exhausted. The rope part of this toy is what takes playing fetch to another level. Give it a good wind-up and let it fly! The weight of the ball carries it really far and very fast! More than I expected based on other toys one purchased. The first launch almost went over back wall of our yard! Skye didn't mind cause the rope made it easy for her to find it in the ivy. She loves throwing it around up in the air and flinging it around like cats throw their toys around. The ONLY issue is, of course is the durability. This toy is meant to be an interactive toy only. Once you're done playing, put it away if you want it to last. Especially if you have a dog that chews everything. It IS well made and of nice material, but no toy will survive her chewing skills. She'd have the rope chewed off in minutes. So it's up to the owner to keep this toy safe! If your dog isn't a chewer....I envy you and this toy will last a really long time! I would definitely recommend this toy for water or beach play as well. It's a big ball, but the rope and the groves in the ball make it very easy for her to grab. And if you don't want to use the rope to play, it fits into the groves around the ball and hooks into place. But honestly, we will never use that feature, the rope is the best part in my HER opinion! Definitely recommend and I'm going to buy more! I'm not thrilled with the price but everything is expensive these days,and if it's taken care of, it will last a long time.

Our Frenchie loves this toy
Size: One Size
Our Frenchie loves to pull and tug. She also loves to run after balls. The two in one makes it the perfect toy for her. We've been using it for over 8 months and while it does have some wear and tear... it's lasted a lot longer than her other today. She likes to grab the rope and run around the grass (sometimes getting too excited and tripping over the ball). As soon as we have to throw this one away... there's no doubt we are getting another one.

This is perfect for puppies. And small to medium dogs without strong biting jaws
Size: One Size
My border collie loved this as a puppy but wore out the rope. I got her another now that she is a year old and she loves it still but the rope showed wear almost immediately. She runs dragging it behind her and watching it bounce and she also swings it back and forth banging it on her head often but, it's so lightweight I don't worry that she's doing any harm to herself.
