Leon's Story (Sunburst Books)
Gr 4 Up-Tillage, the son of North Carolina sharecroppers, looks back on his experience of growing up black in the Jim Crow South. Told in simple, straightforward language, this heart-wrenching memoir was transcribed from taped recordings of Tillage's spoken story and edited with his assistance and consent. Striking black-and-white collage designs separate chapters. Audio version available from Recorded Books.α(c) Copyright 2013.  Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
