A rope passed down through the generations frames an African-American family\'s Story as they journey north to New York City from the rural south during the time of the Great Migration.
But for three generations, that rope is passed down, used for everything from jump rope games to tying suitcases onto a car for the big move north to New York City, and even for a family reunion where that first little girl is now a grandmother..
She has no idea the rope will become part of her family\'s history.
The Story of one family\'s journey north during the Great Migration starts with a little girl in South Carolina who finds a rope under a tree one summer.
During the time of the Great Migration, millions of African American families relocated from the South, seeking better opportunities.
With Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator James Ransome.
Jacqueline Woodson -- New York Times Bestselling, National Book Award and Newbery Honor winning author--writes a rich Story of a family adapting to change as they hold on to the past and embrace the future.
Full color.
