Grandma gathers the whole family, and the student learns that 400 years ago, in 1619, their ancestors were stolen and brought to America by white slave traders.But before that, they had a home, a land, a language. She learns how the people said to be born on the water survived.And the people planted dreams and hope,willed themselves to keepliving, living.And the people learned new wordsfor lovefor friendfor familyfor joyfor growfor home.With powerful verse and striking illustrations by Nikkolas Smith, Born on the Water provides a pathway for readers of all ages to reflect on the origins of American identity.
