From Newbery Honor- and Coretta Scott King Author Award-winning author Renée Watson comes a heartwarming middle-grade novel about finding deep roots and exploring what make us who we are. All Amara wants for her birthday is to visit her father’s family in New York City–Harlem, to be exact. Maybe this will help her understand her family–and herself. But New York City is not exactly what Amara thought it would be. As she explores, asks questions, and learns more about Harlem, her father and his family history, she realizes how, in some ways more than others, she connects with him, her home, and her family.
