It is a picture book; an important title

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

The winner of the first Coretta Scott King Award for illustration, making it an important title in the history of children's literature. Perhaps the customer who gave it one star did not expect a picture and thus gave it a low rating.
