Fatimah attended Eastern Senior High School when she authored her book. She enjoyed tutoring students with Reach, though sports and other commitments made it hard for her to be a consistent tutor. She loved working with Shootback and plans to continue her interest in photography in college next year. She enjoyed taking pictures and is thinking about making it her career. The project helped her get the real feeling of how it's going to be as a professional photographer.

D is for Duke Ellington, G is for Go-Go, P is for the Potomac River, and Q is for Quadrants. The reader will learn the alphabet while learning about the city through the eyes of kids just like them! Made in collaboration with Shootback, an organization that empowers young people to tell their own stories through photography and writing.
