This book has a MAP. And a GLOSSARY. 5 stars for that.
Good lesson for kids but not good enough. Like it's a big deal to talk about racism but in the endthe Black family moves on to the property of the white family, the dad and son both shown to be racist. That's just unrealistic and an unpolished ending. I'm sure the issues of South Africa, which during this time seemed a lot like America in the 70s, or even America now honestly, couldn't be solved if white people who lived on stolen land were just like "Sure come hang out on MY property and work for me! Forget about ALL of our history and I won't try to atone for any of it!" BFFR.
