(4) K-3 Tales of Young Americans series. Illustrated by Chris Ellison. In this tale of struggle and perseverance, African American Moses and his family leave their home in Baltimore to participate in an Oklahoma land run. Though it's slow to get moving, the story effectively relates the obstacles the characters face while working toward their dream of owning a farm. Dark, atmospheric paintings display the family's struggles and triumphs.
Reviewer: Juliet S. King
