Book Description
Here is a train trip to be savored, from the early dawn departure to that quiet moment when the passengers fall asleep. "Featuring an African American family on a train trip, Temple's graceful ballad never misses a beat, using repetition to pull its audience steadily along from beginning to end. . . . A deceptively simple book that rewards close attention." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review
