Going North

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jerome Lagarrigue. This poignant story of an African-American family's decision to move North in quest of a better life is told from young Jessie's perspective, in rhythmic, image-filled prose. Subdued illustrations capture the varying moods of the narration, whose credible plot and poetic language invite reading aloud. An author's note provides historical background for the autobiographical story.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
