Uncle John's City Garden

By: Bernette Ford

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

How does this city garden grow? With help from L’il Sissy and her siblings--and love, love, love! A celebration of nature, family, and food. Visiting the city from her home in the suburbs, an African American girl sees how a few packets of seeds, some helping hands, and hard work transform an empty lot in a housing project into a magical place where vegetables grow and family gathers. It’s the magic of nature in the heart of the city! Bernette Ford’s autobiographical story is a loving glimpse at a girl, her siblings, and her uncle, and their shared passion for farming. L’l Sissy’s fascination with measurement, comparison, and estimation introduces children to STEM concepts. And the progress of Uncle John’s garden introduces readers to the life cycle of plants. Frank Morrison, winner of multiple Coretta Scott King awards and an NAACP Image Award, depicts dramatic cityscapes as well as the luscious colors and textures of Nature.

The Story of Ervin James

Inspired by the Former Slave who Founded a Community for Freed Blacks

By: Bernette Sherman

From Loss to Legacy - The Story of Ervin James matters They couldn’t keep him from the dream. They couldn’t take away his legacy. The shoulders that strained under the weight of pain and slavery are the shoulders we stand on. Inspired by Ervin James who lived in the 1800s. Ervin James overcame great odds, pain, loss, and suffering to leave a legacy when he managed to purchase over 100 acres of land and found a community for freed blacks in 1870. It’s a story of hope, love, and the family we make - including the unexpected. Ervin begins his journey as a slave walking from Virginia to South Carolina to stand in a slave market with his mother. Their lives are a reflection of the many lives lived and lost during slavery in the United States. However, this story is also of the strength and resilience of those who lived through these times and continue to live through their descendants today. The story takes readers through Ervin's life beginning in childhood in 1815 until the purchase of land made in December 1870. Ervin's story is told against the backdrop of a pre-civil-war era and then through it, gracefully incorporating history and culture into the experience of reading about his life. The Story of Ervin James is a carefully crafted, yet fictionalized, full length historical novel inspired by the life of Ervin James, a Black man and slave, who lived in the 1800s. It is written by his great-great-great granddaughter.

Ballet Class

By: Bernette G. Ford

Encore! Young dance fans will clap and cheer as the enormously popular star of Ballet Kitty returns for a repeat performance. And this time, she's embarking on a brand-new adventure: her very first real ballet class. Dressed in their prettiest slippers and leotards, Kitty and her friend Princess Pussycat are prepared to do perfect plies and glide gracefully across the floor. Their pal Ginger Tom isn't so sure about ballet... he's wearing sneakers and shorts and grumpily saying, 'I don't want to go!' But by the end of class everyone's learned that even without the right costume a dancer can deserve a big round of applause.
