A beautiful elegy of fifteen poems and illustrations, honoring Emmett Till, an African American teen from Chicago who was lynched in 1995 while visiting relatives in Mississippi.

Libraries are my passion in life. Before I became mayor, I used to sneak out here during lunch time...and I'd go to a corner and take a book -- any book almost -- and read it for a while, and then feel rejuvenated.

-Richard Riordan, Former Mayor of Los Angeles
