(3) K-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. In 1933, young James William learns about racism in a shocking way when his own father is revealed as a Klan member. James's disillusionment with his father remains unmitigated at the end of this tough, well-paced story. Cooper's soft-edged, mostly earth-toned illustrations include slightly static people and evocative backgrounds.
