Take a peek inside history with This is the Rope: A Story from the Great Migration. Based on a true story of the author's family, this beautifully illustrated book features a simple twine rope and the generations of family that find various ways to use or play with the rope. From her grandmother using it to jump rope in South Carolina as a young girl, her grandmother and her grandfather using it to tie luggage to the room of their car when they migrated to New York City, her mother using it to play games with kids in the neighborhood, and her own use of it, old and gray, before her grandmother switched it out for a new one.
