More About This Book

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
This story has an interesting perspective. It shows what life is like slave children but also the important role that they play in the life of their family. Parents have no control over their children's lives because their children are slaves. Parents don't know if their children will be sold to someone else, whether they will have decent clothes for the winter or whether the new boss that is coming will be a nice or a mean person. So, the job of Ella May and her friends Sue and Bobby is to go up to the big house every night after they have picked cotton all day, and listen at the window of their master about events that affect the plantation and what is going on outside the plantation. This, of course, was before air conditioning so windows were kept open for the cooling evening breeze. Ella May and her friends hear various things that affect them and their families. They return and tell their parents. Sometimes the news is good and sometimes it is not so good. The story ends with the children returning and telling their parents that they have a new president, Abraham Lincoln, and he is going to free the slaves. What a happy time for Ella May, her family and the other slaves. This is part of the "Tales of Young Americans" series. Reviewer: Leila Toledo

    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.
