(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Raul Colón. Shelton's poetic prose captures elements of the civil rights movement through her childhood memories--thinking that "Jim Crow was a big black crow," being turned away from a whites-only restaurant, spending time with "Uncle Martin" Luther King. Colón's textured, layered illustrations showing civil rights leaders, segregationists, and scenes of a close-knit family extend a story well told. Bib.
