Unavailable for several years, Virginia Hamilton's award-winning companion to The People Could Flytraces the history of slavery in America in the voices and stories of those who lived it. Leo and Diane Dillon's brilliant black-and-white illustrations echo the stories' subtlety and power, making this book as stunning to look at as it is to read.
