Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This child's view of the long day's work in the cotton fields, simply expressed in a poet's resonant language, is a fresh and stirring look at migrant family life. "With its restrained poetic text and impressionist paintings, this is a picture book for older readers, too."-- Booklist

"Caldecott Honor Book."

"The text of Working Cotton is based on the poems "the trimming of the feathers" and "conejo," originally published in The Peacock poems by Sherley Anne Williams"--T.p. verso.

A young black girl relates the daily events of her family's migrant life in the cotton fields of central California.
