The Bell Rang
by James E. Ransome (Author / Illustrator)
Booktalk: A young slave girl witnesses the heartbreak and hopefulness of her family and their plantation community when her brother escapes for freedom.
Snippet:
Thursday
I wake to the sound
of Mama and Daddy
searching,
looking.
No sun in the sky.
Mama crying.
No Ben.
Daddy crying.
Ben ran.
