Working Cotton (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780152014827)

A 1993 Caldecott Honor Book

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
