“. . .it’s well told, and the illustrations, with their fluid, rounded shapes, are a dynamic accompaniment.”

“The lively, expressive full-page oil paintings depict Hope’s father’s white immigrant ancestors arriving in America and her mother’s enslaved ancestors toiling in the cotton fields. A must-have title.”
