All Aboard the Schooltrain
Glenda Armand, illustrated by Keisha Morris
A young girl longs to ride a real train, but each morning she and her friends form a single-file “schooltrain” on their walk to school. Their chant marks the route to a school day that opens into adventures through the teacher’s books and the girl’s imagination. Her town changes during the Great Migration, while she confronts Jim Crow. The narrative draws inspiration from the author’s own family story.
