Description:
Only Patricia McKissack and Floyd Cooper could so movingly capture what life was like in the turn-of-the-century South for a little boy and his hard-working mother. Little David Earl knows exactly what day of the week it is by the color of his mother's apron. Monday's blue apron is for washing, Tuesday's yellow one means ironing, and so on until Sunday -- the only day when Ma doesn't have to wear an apron and they can set aside some special no-work time, just for themselves. Based on the life of Ms. McKissack's own great-grandmother, here is a touching portrait of a special Southern family that understands what's truly important.
