(4) K-3 Illustrated by AG Ford. Robinson draws on her own experiences in this story about a family reunion in Tanzania to celebrate a special birthday. The extended, bi-continental family reflects on its ancestors' capture and forced emigration from Africa to enslavement in the U.S. Ford's paintings convey the loving family's bond. An author's note, map, glossary of Swahili words, and family photos enhance the lengthy, purposeful text.
