Center for the Study of Multicultural Children's Literature Best Books of the Year

After a storm devastates the farm his parents have been renting, Junior moves with his family to Roxboro, North Carolina. The year is 1959, and the nine-year-old boy has to navigate the realities of the segregated South while adjusting to life in town. Instead of farming, his father works at the lumberyard, and his mother takes in laundry from the white people in town. Junior meets new friends who have a TV--and their own books! These new friends offer to take Junior to the library, and he's surprised to discover that in a clearing in the forest, there's a log cabin that houses a library for Black residents.
