"Show Way" is AWESOME. We heard Jacqueline Woodson read this aloud at a conference in Grand Rapids, MI, almost two years ago while it was still a manuscript....there was not a dry eye that room when she finished! I can still hear her voice when I read it. Now that it has the illustrations, it is even more profound.
