Summary: |
A little African American girl learns to love the old white lady who walks by her home every day. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Yolen's language is lively and the snippets of stories are haunting. Teachers may want to pair with other storytelling books (like Miss Ida's Porch) or with family stories or with intergenerational friendships. Classes may want to brainstorm and then write on this question: What difference does it make to this story that the old lady is white and the girl is black? |
