bickie's review against another edition
4.0
Retelling of an African-American folk tale about people who are kidnapped from Africa, brought to a plantation in chains, and forced to work; they finally escape by flying away. Beautifully illustrated, this book addresses a difficult subject in a matter-of-fact way without sugar-coating but also gently enough for early elementary students. Ages 7-12 (lots of discussion topics including how folktales are formed)
