These are some of the things I like about Sharon Draper’s writing. I like how she gives the characters a voice.“ Let me tell you something Doctor, there is no way in Heaven or Hell that we will be sending Melody to a nursing home!

Bubble Gum Pink with Fire Engine Red with Peachy Sherbet with Bright Cinnamon ” i like how she makes it realistic. “I am in a special program with other children with what they call disabilities.” Those were some of the things I liked about Sharon Draper’s writing
