Apple won the National Book Award Longlist, appeared on TIME's 10 Best YA and Children's Books of 2020, NPR's Best Book of 2020, Shelf Awareness's Best Books of 2020, Publishers Weekly's Big Indie Books of Fall, Amazon's Best Book of the Month, AICL Best YA Books of 2020, and CSMCL Best Multicultural Children's Books of 2020. The term "Apple" is a slur in Native communities across the country. It's for someone supposedly "red on the outside, white on the inside." In APPLE (SKIN TO THE CORE), Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family—of Onondaga among Tuscaroras—of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking.
