Jason Reynolds and his best bud, Jason Griffin had a mind-meld. And they decided to tackle it, in one fell swoop, in about ten sentences, and 300 pages of art, this piece, this contemplation-manifesto-fierce-v​u​l​n​e​r​a​b​l​e​-​g​o​r​g​e​o​u​s​-​t​e​r​r​i​f​y​i​n​g​-​W​h​a​t​I​s​W​r​o​n​g​W​i​t​h​H​u​m​a​n​s​-​h​o​p​e​-​f​i​l​l​e​d​-​h​o​p​e​f​u​l​-​s​e​a​r​i​n​g​-​E​y​e​-​P​o​p​p​i​n​g​l​y​-​I​l​l​u​s​t​r​a​t​e​d​-​t​e​n​d​e​r​-​h​e​a​r​t​b​r​e​a​k​i​n​g​-​h​o​w​-​T​h​e​-​H​E​C​K​-​d​i​d​-​T​h​e​y​-​C​o​m​e​-​U​P​-​w​i​t​h​-​T​h​i​s project about oxygen.
