In "Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky," Tristan is a young boy grappling with the loss of his best friend. Sent to his grandparents' farm in Alabama for the summer, he feels out of place and burdened by his grief. When he accidentally punches a hole in the sky, he is thrust into a vibrant world filled with African American folk heroes and mythological creatures. Alongside legendary figures like Anansi the Spider and Brer Rabbit, Tristan must confront powerful challenges and discover the strength within himself to save both his new friends and his own resilience.
