(4) K-3 Illustrated by Shadra Strickland. Young Michael didn't question much about his segregated life, but once he starts ("I just had to know what that white water tasted like") his mind opens to possibility: "Maybe everything I thought I couldn't do was just in my imagination." While message-laden, the simply told story is effective; the loosely rendered sepia-tinted illustrations evoke a past era.
