SuitabookSpin It Like That
Chandra Sparks Taylor
- Reading
- Read together in short stretches and pause when Jasmine's relationships become uncertain; invite the reader to consider what would help distinguish genuine support from changing attitudes.
- Themes
- Pursuing music: Jasmine's skill at spinning and rhyming earns admiration, and playing music brings her joy and freedom, while her parents hope the hobby is temporary. Her musical ability and the happiness it brings are presented positively; the conflict is about her parents' expectations.
- Worth knowing
- Expect disagreement between Jasmine and her parents about her hobby, as well as difficult situations and uncertainty about who is genuinely pleased for her.
