A young girl narrates about the summer Mr. Homer Winslow, a Yankee artist, stays at her mother's hotel. He "shakes the southern's town world" as he paints and interacts with the African-American community down the road.
I read aloud this picture book to my twelve-year old to support our study of Winslow Homer.
The word choice and figurative language are superb. I also liked the artwork. Clearly, the placement on the page is making a statement. I had never heard of "jonkonnu".
