"A celebration of family roots from award-winning children's author Carole Boston Weatherford!"
Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
"I've got my brother's ears
And my sister's big bright eyes.
I've got my grandpa's hands
Though mine are a smaller size."
She discovers that she is an impressive mosaic composed of different physical parts similar to other family members. These familial contributions verify her belonging in the family and make her very unique as well.
"Me and the Family Tree" is a celebration of her family heritage which is wrapped up in the special love bestowed upon her from many of the members.
The large vibrant illustrations, by award-winning children's book illustrator and graphic designer Ashleigh Corrin, are fantastic and very kid-friendly. It is a perfect bedtime story... or anytime story. I love the book and highly recommend it.
