This lyrical picture book brings the 1619 Project to young readers, chronicling the rich and complex history of Black America.
Stymied by her unfinished family tree assignment for school, a young girl seeks Grandma's counsel and learns about her ancestors, the consequences of slavery and the history of Black resistance in the United States.

I am the library manager at Worthington Park Library. I love all kinds of books, but my favorites are about adventures big and small, especially if they're mysterious or magical. I have a soft spot for graphic novels of all types. I also love to hike and camp, play music and pretend I'm actually going to complete a craft project.
