The story of one family s journey north during the Great Migration starts with a little girl in South Carolina who finds a rope under a tree one summer. She has no idea the rope will become part of her family s history. But for three generations, that rope is passed down, used for everything from jump rope games to tying suitcases onto a car for the big move north to New York City, and even for a family reunion where that first little girl is now a grandmother. Newbery Honor winning author Jacqueline Woodson and Coretta Scott King Award winning illustrator James Ransome use the rope to frame a thoughtful and moving story as readers follow the little girl s journey. During the time of the Great Migration, millions of African American families relocated from the South, seeking better opportunities. With grace and poignancy, Woodson s lilting storytelling and Ransome s masterful oil paintings of country and city life tell a rich story of a family adapting to change as they hold on to the past and embrace the future.
