Title: This is a tremendous book!
Product review: The best children's book is a book that would be loved by all generations. That is definitely true for this book. This book taught me what the lives of black Americans were like for seventy years and beyond after the Civil War. I think it also gives a glimpse of what led them in the direction they have gone culturally, since.Even white readers will begin, through this book, to sort of live empathetically through what they lived -- the struggle to make ends meet in a system designed to continue to enslave them, the struggle to keep a good name while being blamed for the crimes of white men, and just what life was like for the descendants of slaves in the 1930's.I highly recommend this book to anyone of any age who hasn't yet read it. It will captivate you. It will make you laugh, cry, and experience every emotion in between. But it will be well worth it, and you will be glad you did.
