Underground Railroad and really loving this book and Whitehead's writing style. He does jump back and forth a bit, but it's not hard to follow the storyline. He also concentrates on just a few characters, so they are easy to keep straight. I highly recommend this book.
Our library has a traveling exhibit on loan for the next 3 months about Children's Literature of Appalachia. Though the focus is on children's literature, the Friends of the Library group decided to bring in storytellers, musicians, artists and historians in an effort to involve the whole community. I will be helping the children's librarian with story time on the day they read Mary Calhoun's book The Sweet Patootie Doll. This is for pre-schoolers, but the topic for discussion that day is schools. I found an old lard bucket and plan to fill it with biscuits and cornbread to show the children how school children in Appalachia carried their lunches to school in the "olden days" before school lunchrooms.
