They Were Strong and Good
Publisher: New York 1968

With them we brave the Caribbean storms, travel to the wharf markets of New York, and fight in the Civil War.

Williams, Sherley Anne
Working Cotton
Publisher: San Diego, New York 1997
Fine with no dust jacket; New book. Harcourt, Inc Paperback Oblong 8vo 8" to 9"; Unpaginated pages; Illustrated by Carole Byard. Follow the day of a young African-American girl working the cotton fields of central California with her migrant family. She tells the story herself beginning with " We gets to the fields early, before it's even light. Sometime I still be asleep. It be cold, cold, cold." The artist takes readers to the fields, too, so they can see all that goes on -- workers huddling around the fire in the morning to keep warm, workers picking the cotton, row by row, dragging their heavy sacks behind them. The cotton is weighed before lunch -- cornbread and greens -- which the family sits to eat in the midst of the fields. At the end of the day, "The bus come when it's almost dark. Us all be tired. Daddy take the baby; Mamma take the bundle. Me and Ruise, Jesmarie carry the sacks." A Caldecott Medal Book.; ISBN: 0152014829
