Illustrated by
Daniel Minter.
Thirteen short poems celebrate the months from January through the New Year. Each month occasions a revealing vignette of typical Gullah activities. The bold linoleum-block illustrations feature vigorously rendered figures, adults, and children working and playing together. Richly evocative of its Georgia and South Carolina coastal setting, this handsome book should find multiple uses. Glos.
