(3) K-3 Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. Reenie and Mama enjoy fishing along the bank of Jim Crow River, but Peter and his father fish out of necessity. Mama explains why they ignore one another: "We and white folks have kept our distance here, for as long as memory serves." But Reenie is kind to Peter, and this small act helps him shed some of his prejudices. Evans's standout illustrations add poignancy to the story.
