(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. In explaining to her granddaughter how the art of sweetgrass basket making has been handed down, a grandmother also lyrically recounts her people's history, through slavery to tourist attraction, in the Sea Islands. Lewis's evocative illustrations enhance this story where art, memory, and history intersect. The book includes notes on sweetgrass basket making. Bib.
