(2) K-3 Illustrated by Benny Andrews. Belton's fictional text honors Josephine Carroll Smith, an extraordinary African-American educator and mentor who died in 1997 at the age of 103. In the story, "Miss Josie" welcomes a young boy into her Washington, D.C., home for a visit just as she had welcomed the boy's father when he was an impoverished student. Brightly colored, well-composed illustrations complement the text's tone and mood.
