I had to read the end explanation of the book before I understood the concept, since the poem doesn't match the pictures. Once I understood that it was the story of the Pullman workers sharing the left items from the train, I found it interesting, but still unclear. The illustrations are stunning and strong. ( ) This story could be used at a variety of levels but I would recommend using it for intermediate-level readers. This picture book is an extended version of a poem where there are a few lines on each page throughout the story. It focuses on segregation and racism during the 1920s and highlights the perspective of an African American man working on a train. I would use this book in my classroom by using it as an additional resource for a history lesson as it demonstrates segregation both textually and through the illustrations. It also has a lot of wonderful poetic devices that are used so taking the time to break it down for the class would be a great way to utilize this text. This book is suitable for primary aged students. It portrays American racism and how far African-Americans have come in this country and how their futures are bright. The story also conveys the humanity of African-Americans and how they too, deserve to sit and eat with company rather eat in the kitchen. I would include this book in my classroom library to empower the students in my class who are African-American as well as educate all students about what racism looked like in the past and how far our nation has come. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
