The story of one family‘s journey north during the Great Migration starts with a little girl in South Carolina who finds a rope under a tree one summer. She has no idea the rope will become part of her family‘ s history. But for three generations, that rope is passed down and used for a variety of things. Sweet story-luscious art

This story is set at the time of the Great Migration. Most of Jacqueline Woodson's that express the importance of family history. The rope began the journey with the little girl's grandmother many years ago when she found it beneath an old tree, and then it passed from one person to another, holding memories from long ago. Is a F picture book great fro RA. Theme family

Jacqueline Woodson never disappoints no matter what age she is writing for. A great introduction to The Great Migration.

#LetsTravelJuly Day 25: Fats‘ review: “The book was published in 2013. Jacqueline Woodson dedicated it to the more than 6 million African Americans who left the unjust conditions of the South for a better life in the North from the early 1900s until the #1970s. The book was beautifully illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award recipient, James Ransome.” Full review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-h48
