The Delany Sisters Reach High

32 pp. | Abingdon | January, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-687-03074-9 $$17.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Ladwig. This colloquial biography outlines the childhood of centenarians Sadie and Bessie Delany (of Having Our Say fame) during the post-Civil War era in North Carolina. While this meandering account fails to connect the sisters' adolescence to their adulthood (an afterword describes their successful adult lives), the text and illustrations capture the family's solidarity and spirit.
