Me and the Family Tree

Carole Boston Weatherford

A young Black girl notices traits she shares with her relatives, including her brother’s ears, her sister’s bright eyes, and her grandfather’s hands, though hers are smaller. As she considers these family resemblances, she recognizes that she also has qualities of her own. Lyrical rhymes and lively, colourful illustrations accompany her reflection on kinship, individuality, and the connections among generations.
