Ten year old Deja is starting fifth grade at a new school. Things are tough at home: Pop is always sick and sad, Ma is always at work, and Deja is always taking care of her little brother and sister while Pop is asleep. Her new school is different from anywhere else Deja has been, and the education of recent history that Deja receives will change her life and the lives of her friends and family forever.

Storyboard Text
- Favorite Quote from Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
- To me, Miss Garcia's quote means that no matter what happens, if you have a strong foundation or base, anything is possible. Miss Garcia means this literally because the building that the kids made was strong from the gound up, but it also has other meanings: Deja, Sabeen, and Ben have a strong friendship. America has a strong foundation, and we will get through what happened to us together.
- Skyscrapers
- A strong foundation supports everything. Skyscrapers, engineer's dreams. It's amazing what people can build.
