Through poem and paintings, this picture book reveals origin story of many Black Americans. That story (as the authors say) "did not begin in slavery" even though their ancestors survived enslavement. It is a story of struggle, resilience, and perseverance. (Miller Library Staff)
Stymied by her unfinished family tree assignment for school, a young girl seeks Grandma's counsel and learns about her ancestors, the consequences of slavery, and the history of Black resistance in the United States.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
