Life on the farm with Granddaddy is full of hard work, but despite all the chores, Granddaddy always makes time for play.

One morning, when Granddaddy heads into town in his fancy suit, Michael knows that something very special must be happening. For the very first time, Granddaddy is allowed to vote, and he couldn’t be more proud.

But can Michael be patient when it seems that justice just can’t come soon enough? Based on the true story of one family’s struggle for voting rights in the civil rights–era South, this moving tale shines a spotlight on a dark facet of U.S. history.

  • From the award-winning authors of White Water comes another moving tale of growing up in the Civil Rights-era south, based on the real-life experience of author Michael Bandy. 
  • Features the vivid pallete and moving illustrations of Coretta Scott King winner James Ransome. 
  • Provides a unique and highly moving child's perspective on voting rights discrimination and racism with touching honesty.
