An influential book that should be in classrooms everywhere

I am a huge fan of diverse books. As a high school teacher myself, I understand the value of having diverse books in the classroom. I think that this book would be the perfect one to include in classroom libraries and even in curriculum. When students see themselves reflected in the curriculum, they tend to do better. This book is full of wise advice that will help people at all stages of life. I hope that this book can be taught in schools everywhere.
