Ms. Sun is a charming, cash-strapped teaching artist put in charge of a rambunctious group of 10th graders at a public school in the Bronx. While directing her students in a play, Ms. Sun must lift them up while everything around them is falling apart.

Written and performed by acclaimed playwright Nilaja Sun and based on her eight-year experience with arts education in New York City, No Child is an inspiring, multi-character solo show that examines America’s broken school system - and reveals the life and love that fill every classroom.

This story was supposed to be there about a school of basically delinquents and their problems in adventures I guess you would call it. When the narrator talked, it made me feel like I was in the kitchen sitting there listening to gossip. That’s just the frame That she put me in. I did not finish the book.

Just not my style of reading

Honestly it was an important commentary on the state of education in our country. Teachers do important work and not all of it is about test scores

Amazing

absolutely loved this interpretation of a teacher's struggle while trying to add value to teaching in the inner City yet it really resonated with me because I did teach for America on the east coast and had a similar experience. I am an African-American woman and I feel that they are a huge gaps in the education system but meanwhile I want to do all I can to help my community and students who look like me. I thought the voice actor was excellent and did an awesome job representing the multifaceted levels of characters and voices. love love the story and I hope more audiobooks are created similar to this one.

superb representation of inner city teaching!

I felt like I went back in time to the days in the schools of the South Bronx. The experiences, struggles, triumphant stories were so prevalent in the Bronx then are they are now. Thank you for telling our story. ❤️
