  Coming on Home Soon

  By Jacqueline Woodson, E.B. Lewis (Illustrator)

  Evocative watercolor paintings illuminate a story of cross-generational love and convey the longing of a child anticipating her mother's return. Lewis's portraiture and attention to light sources, from cold winter hues to warm interior tones, reflect the loneliness of the child and the comforting strength of her grandmother.

  Show Way

  By Jacqueline Woodson, Hudson Talbott (Illustrator)

  Jacqueline Woodson's magnificent poem “Show Way” tells the story of slavery, emancipation, and triumph for each generation of her maternal ancestors. She pays tribute to the creative women who guided their “tall and straight-boned” daughters to courage, self-sufficiency, and freedom. Whether with quilts or stories, poems or songs, these women discovered and shared the strength to carry on.
