Summary: |
This book is a collection of very short poems and photographs of African-American children. Many of the photos are from the turn of the century. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Teachers may want to read a few of the poems aloud and ask the students to bring in their own childhood photos or write their own poetry, using these short ones of Walter Dean Myers as models. This book may be a logical part of a unit on the turn of the century and might be paired with Hamilton's The Bells of Christmas. Teachers may also want to use this book as an introduction to the novels of W.D. Myers.
