Aqueelah Brown’s May I Dream serves as a grief-counseling read for youth who may have lost a close friend, parent, or grandparent. May I Dream details Aqueelah’s experience with death as a pre-teen; she shares her perspective of witnessing melancholic emotions that ensued from her grandmother’s death. Aqueelah vividly narrates the confused, troubled, and unprepared feelings that she endured after her grandmother’s death; however, she chooses to reminisce on the treasured memories that she shared with her grandmother.
