Unavailable for several years, Virginia Hamilton’s award-winning companion to The People Could Fly (not included, sold-separately), traces the history of slavery in America in the voices and stories of those who lived it. Leo and Diane Dillon’s brilliant black-and-white illustrations echo the stories’ subtlety and power, making this book as stunning to look at as it is to read. 160 pages. Paperback. Ags 8-12.
