(2) K-3 Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. Centenarian Lillian takes slow steps up a hill to her polling place, contemplating the metaphorical steps taken by her predecessors. Winter weaves a good amount of African American history and civil rights information throughout his earnest tale of one family's tragedies and triumphs. Evans's angular, textured mixed-media illustrations spotlight Lillian's family members and the tale's historical eras. An author's note is appended.
