Journey to the North

By Eloise Greenfield ● Pictures by Jan Spivey Gilchrist
Families packed their hopes, courage, memories, and children, then traveled north toward new lives. The Great Migration: Journey to the North uses poems and collage artwork to honor the many African American families who left homes in the South for cities in the North. Eloise Greenfield and Jan Spivey Gilchrist draw from their own family histories, connecting personal memory to a major movement in American history. This thoughtful picture book introduces young readers to migration, change, bravery, and belonging in language that is lyrical but clear. Each poem offers a glimpse of what it meant to leave behind familiar places while carrying dreams for a safer, fuller future.
