Big Papa and the Time Machine
Daniel Bernstrom
A boy does not want to go to school, so his grandfather, Big Papa, takes him on a ride in his “time machine,” a 1952 Ford. As they travel, Big Papa shares memories of times when he was frightened and faced what life brought him. His stories draw on African American history during his lifetime, while the boy listens to a grandfather whose family stories and experience help him face his own fear.
