Working Cotton
Picture book · ages 6–10 · 620L · 1997
Unflinching, lyrical, and told in the protagonist's own voice — this is the rare picture book that doesn't sentimentalize poverty but doesn't rob children of it either, and Carole Byard's collage art is extraordinary.
Grandmama's Joy
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 620L
A quiet, genuinely moving portrait of intergenerational grief and healing—Byard's watercolors do the emotional heavy lifting, and the restraint makes it land harder.
