This was a very nice book. I grew up in central Florida and went to the Zora Neale Hurston Festival on a field trip in 2nd or 3rd grade.

As a child in Florida, Zora Hurston loved to climb a chinaberry tree to look out over the lands that lay beyond her small town and dreamed of going there. Her mother encouraged her dreaming and told her that she could be anything that she wanted to be. Her father, on the other hand, said that tree climbing was for boys, and Zora would do better by wearing a dress and do more traditionally female activities. The future author and folklorist decided to follow her mother’s advice.
