One of my favorite books.

Revisado: 08-23-20

I first read this book as a little girl and fell in love with it. When I got audible I decided to purchase it, and was not disappointed. The narration of the book was excellent. It transported me right back to my childhood and I got lost in the story all over again. From Gayle to Great, Cookie, Auntie and Uncle Luther. It makes you feel like apart of the story and you find yourself caring about the characters. Rita Williams-Garcia's writing does that to you. More than anything it's the lessons in the book I appreciate most. The lesson of family and what it should mean, especially African Americans. How learning or our history is such an important thing. We need to know that we come from Kings and Queens. We need to know of our ancestors who was stolen from their land and made to work the field's, and what they had to endure and how they fought to live. If only the children of today really understood their history and cared. If only there was still people who cared enough about true past to pass it on to the future, Black's would finally come together and rise up. Take back our right as the true chosen people. Well I know I will continue to learn about my ancestors and all those who came before and fought to give me the little freedoms I so enjoy now, so that I can pass it on to my future generations who will come after me..This is a great book to let your children read...and then talk with them about it so that they may understand the lessons within it.
