A book that immediately put me in mind of George Ella Lyon's poem, "Where I'm From."

This book is a touching look at past days, and a mother's memory of her own childhood. She obviously had a good family and childhood, but she does not shy away from the hard parts of being African American in those days. There were no sidewalks going into her neighborhood, and her siblings had to ride the bus a long way to the school where everyone was brown, when there was a school right up the street. But overall the book has a sweet and hopeful tone.
