The Girl who fell from the Sky by Heidi W. Durrow. It's about a mixed little girl, who is half African American and half Danish. After her mother and brother die, she is sent to live with her father's mother, which is the African side of her family. Before that, she lived only with her Danish mother where she never saw herself as "black girl" but as Danish (She spoke only Danish at home. Ate only Danish food. And did only Danish things.) It's when she moves that she sees a new side of racism that she has never experiences before. Rather being allowed to call herself by how she felt she is forced to take on a new tag by how others perceived her.

It's an interesting tale of when mixed children are forced to take sides.

The writer, herself, is of African-American and Danish roots.
