"Our earliest toys are our hands, feet and voices." These are the first words of the introduction of this wonderful collection of history, games, songs, rhymes and stories from Patricia McKissack's childhood. With a shout out to her old neighborhood in the outskirts of St. Louis, Patricia takes readers on a journey through common and not-so-common finger-plays, stories, and games- giving the reader information on the origins and African American roots of each. Along with brilliant illustrations by Brian Pinkney, this is a one of a kind masterpiece.
