Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( ) Home. A place a slave probably never truly felt a sense of. When they were free, they could leave, but freedom without momma and being a young boy has Gabe bound with fear. Not free. I imagine myself looking for my Rosie Lee, I'd feel hopeless, distraught, lost, and wondering. Not at home. Not free. The only way for little Gabe to be welcomed home and discover the freedom that came with the Freedman's Bureau will be when he find his Rosie Lee. Little glimpses of hope may come here and there, but he won't stop looking for the momma that's looking for him. This was a great story about Gabe searching for his mother after the Civil War. Many black families were separated during this period, yet Gabe was determined to find her. He remembered exactly how his mother looked and smelled and asked all around for her. After reading the story, I was able to also feel that same happiness and relief that Gabe felt once he was back with his mother.This is a great story that can teach students about determination and relationships with their family. This story was set right after the Civil War ended. It's a story of a young boy's journey to find his mom after the slaves were all freed. It takes him a long time to find her but he never gives up hope or the thought of enjoying freedom with his mom. I like this story because it shows kids that everythinng wasn't magically better once the war ended and the slaves were freed. Many families were seperated and didn't have anything but the clothes on their back. It's nice because this story is about a serious time in history that had a lot of heartbreak but the author chose to tell a story of a happy ending. This is about a boy named Gabe looking for his mother, Rosie Lee, after the Civil War. Gabe goes on an adventure to find her and meets many people on the way that influence him. I think the illustrations are beautiful and they remind me of paintings. I'm really happy he found his mother. I'm sure there were so many people who couldn't find their loved ones during that time and it's luck and determination that helped Gabe. He didn't give up in the end and that's inspiring. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
