Thomas, Joyce Carol In the Land of Milk and Honey, PICTURE
BOOK. Amistad, 2012. $16.99. Content: G.
Follow along on one family’s journey
to California; the Land of Milk and Honey. The main character is a little girl in anticipation of her
new home, describing what she sees along the route and how she feels once she
arrives.
The writing comes off as
an enchanting poem with thought-provoking vocabulary that will encourage
investigation by readers. The
descriptive language and graceful pictures help to create a warm atmosphere of
expectation that is translated well to the reader. A strong author’s note at the end of the book
helps to tie the whole piece together.
