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

Zemach, Harve; illustrated by Morgot Zemach.
Duffy and the Devil.
Publisher: New York: Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1973..
First Edition ISBN: 0374318875 Quarto, about 10.75 inches (27 cm) tall, in greenish blue cloth. Unpaginated, about 40 pages with color illustration on every page. Winner of the Caldecott Medal in 1974 with the medal sticker on the jacket cover. That is unusual since the award is the year after the book is published, but it is certainly possible that the publisher had first printings still in stock when the award was announced. This is a retelling of a Cornish folk tale that resembles the Rumpelstiltskin story. Clean and bright and sound inside. The covers show light edge wear. The jacket is complete but for minor loss of surface color at the extremities; there is a 3/4 inch tear at the bottom front panel and general light edge wear.
