Summer Sun Risin'

Written by W. Nikola-Lisa and Illustrated by Don Tate
From sunrise to sunset, an African American boy spends an activity-filled summer day helping his family on their farm. Feeding animals, mowing hay, picking vegetables, and eating freshly caught fish fill the hours. Set in Texas in the 1950s, it is a tribute to childhood, farm life, and family togetherness.
