A Must Have for All Homes, Beautiful Illustrations, Moving story

This book is absolutely beautiful!! I bought it for the cover but was thrilled when I got into it. The story is so sweet - about slave children that have to"spy" on the onwers and report to their parents. The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous and are packed with details- my kids especially love the spanish moss dripping from the trees and the fireflies. The kids faces are so sweet and full of emotion that you just want to grab them and hug them. In times like these when things are stressed and people are grumpy this book made my family realize how lucky we are, the importance of family and hope!!! I highly recommend this and all books by the illustrator Mike Benny.
