Description
A poignant and powerful portrayal of life in the cotton fields, "Working Cotton" is a moving exploration of migrant family life. Written in a poet's resonant language, this picture book offers a fresh and stirring look at the long day's work.
With its restrained poetic text and impressionist paintings, this book is suitable for older readers who appreciate a more nuanced and thoughtful story. The result is a picture book that feels both accessible and substantial.
