Wonderfully illustrated beautifully written story handed down through oral tradition through the slaves of the sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina.

An absolutely phenomenal story that people so often forget and therefore don't acknowledge. I read this with my 5th and 6th graders and they thought it was pure magic that people can communicate through drums, and reading it with them nearly moved me to tears. So much historical significance here. It's heartbreaking in its history and its relevence today. Such an important story!
