Working Cotton

by Sherley Anne Williams (Author) Carole Byard (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
This child's view of the long day's work in the cotton fields, simply expressed in a poet's resonant language, is a fresh and stirring look at migrant family life. "With its restrained poetic text and impressionist paintings, this is a picture book for older readers, too."--Booklist
