(4) K-3 Illustrated by Cozbi A. Cabrera. A child spends the summer in the Sea Islands and learns to make the traditional seagrass baskets that symbolize the African-American culture of that region. Richly colored paintings evoke setting and interpret character in a diffuse but attractive vignette of the history and traditions of a unique people.
Reviewer: Amy Lois Cohn
