About this ebook

LIFE ON THE LAND: Memoir of a Farmer’s Daughter is an inspirational look at life through the eyes of a black child during a time when “cotton was king.” Carolyn J. Brown shares her story of living on a farm in Northeast Texas. She details the challenges and joys of growing up in a family of black cotton farmers who worked on their own land.
Upon leaving the farm for a career in urban education, the author faced different kinds of challenges and rewards which she describes. Also included are strategies that engage children with literature in meaningful ways.
