Crossing Bok Chitto by Tim Tingle
4th grade classroom library review series:
bringing this one in for class for indigenous peoples' day as i saw it recommended for 4th grade on socialjusticebooks.org ! a good story of Black-Native solidarity in the south during enslavement. also love the context pages he adds at the end explaining how he learned the story and the oral tradition it's based in. the colors of the illustrations are all very muted and kinda dismal, even at parts of the story that are more about communal joy, which,, fair enough ... i just hope the students pick it up regardless
