(2) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. When Mama goes north to Chicago to earn money while the men are fighting in World War II, Ada Ruth must stay home with Grandma, trying hard to be brave. Story line here is spare; this is all about feelings and relationships, and Woodson's gently evocative words are expressively developed in Lewis's watercolors. Lewis captures both people and place with great warmth and humanity.
