Childtimes

Ths truly is a gem. Life in the south and for Black Americans in general covering 3 generations is discussed. But it is more about a family's love for eachother. Couldn't put it down. Had to read it all the way through in one sitting. Gave it to a teacher friend who grew up in the south. She read it in one sitting. I bought this book originally because one of its stories is featured in the Open Court 2002 reading series in a unit on heritage. Didn't realize it was still in print. Not just for kids.

this book was about the life of Eloise Greenfield.

it was a very good book. I recomend it to every one

This book is outstanding!!

I love Childtimes by Eloise Greenfield. I read Childtimes as a fifth grader. It was a wonderful book that should be read by all--young and old.
