Momma, Where Are You From?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris K. Soentpiet. When an African-American girl asks her mother the titlular question, the answers come as childhood memories emphasizing, not place, but the warmth of family and community, though still acknowledging racial inequities. Rich illustrations glow with realistic details from a text that is often poetic but occasionally choppy.
