Little Cliff and the Cold Place av Clifton L. Taulbert
Little Cliff, an African American boy is raised by his grandparents in the deep South in the 1950’s and finds himself intrigued by the frigid cold of the Arctic during primary school instruction. Childlike verbiage and traditional watercolor illustrations create a storyline rooted in support and love for Little Cliff as he explores the unfamiliar concepts of “The Cold Place.”
Little Cliff, the main character in Little Cliff and the Cold Place - a children’s story written in 3rd person, learns about the Arctic in his first-grade classroom. Prior to this knowledge, he did not realize there was a land so far away and different than his home in Mississippi. Little Cliff is determined to go to the Arctic, but his Poppa Joe explains how it is too far. With the help of Poppa Joe and his friends, they are able to create an understanding and show Little Cliff the arctic through imagery and nostalgic storytelling without leaving Mississippi.… (mer)
Charming story about little boy and patriarchal figures taking time to share stories from the past about Alaska. Read it slowly and drink in the rich illustrations.
