(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sean Qualls. A girl talks about how her relatives lived their lives, asking: "And what will I be, Lord? What will I be?" Through Nelson's words and Qualls's mixed-media illustrations, each person becomes distinct and memorable. The story touches on serious topics (racism, slavery), but its overall tone conveys the warmth of the family members' love and their devotion to God and one another.
