A lyrical story about how looking back is helpful when you start looking forward. . . .
A young girl thoughtfully considers her family tree and the vibrant ancestors who populate it. As each family member's story is revealed, her quiet meditation - about what kind of person she'll be when she grows up - transforms into a testament to the importance of sharing family stories.
The simple, elegant narrative combined with Sean Qualls's evocative art makes for a wonderful read-aloud experience.
Genre: Children's Fiction
