Description

Jacqueline Woodson is the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Clover's mom says it isn't safe to cross the fence that segregates their African-American side of town from the white side where Anna lives. But the two girls strike up a friendship, and get around the grown-ups' rules by sitting on top of the fence together. With the addition of a brand-new author's note, this special edition celebrates the tenth anniversary of this classic book. As always, Woodson moves readers with her lyrical narrative, and E. B. Lewis's amazing talent shines in his gorgeous watercolor illustrations. Read more

    • Wonderful addition to any home library
This book would make a great addition to any home library. It’s a sweet story about two kids who live on opposite sides of a fence that divides the town into different sections for different races. Their parents tell each girl to stay on their own side of the fence because that’s the way it’s always been. But the girls each want a playmate and figure a way around the rule. The ending makes me cry every time. So sweet. ... show more

    • Every child should have this in their collection
What a great book and such a wonderful story of kids being kids without any adult interference and racial manipulation. Reminds me when I was a kid and the friends I made that lived across the street. The illustration is superb too. Hope there are more stories from the Author.

    • The Other Side
It is an excellent book for all ages. It is powerful in sharing how we are all people, and special. It tells of the innocence of children and how they love and care for each other. Adults can receive a lesson from this beautifully illustrated and well written piece of literature. For myself and those I shared this with --we are reminded how important our brothers and sisters of color are, and that we are to not stereotype, and to tear down any barriers and live together. This book was purchased through Amazon.com! Thank you. ... show more

    • A very powerful story about segregation
I love seeing how children see the world colorless when not the influences of adults fears or unwillingness to see us all as equals. I used this story with my students every year.

    • A sweet book that deals with racism with a light hand
It's hard to talk to your kids about racism sometimes, but all the authorities say it's not something that you can just leave to chance, especially when you live in a place where kids aren't necessarily exposed to people of color. This book allowed me to open up a conversation with my 5 year old about how the two little girls felt, about how people treated them, and best of all, why the final line of "Maybe someday someone will knock that old fence down," brought tears to my eyes. I love it, it's wonderful, you should read it. ... show more
