A fine choice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I saw this book on a conference table at a writer's conference, and was struck by the illustrations. I bought it, and found the lyrical text so charming that, after struggling with myself, I donated it to my nearby library. The librarians have read-aloud choices for children's book groups, and report that its a favorite of theirs and of the children. I hadn't known about Gullah before, but the vocabulary is rich and gets the meaning through without any translation problem. It's a glimpse into one way of life that is unusual--but universal too. I loved it.
