Book-A-Day 64

In Going North by Janice N. Harrington, a little girl's family is moving to the northern state of Nebraska.  The girl doesn't want to leave Alabama and her Big Mama.  It is also the time of segregation.  So, their trip is not necessarily comfortable.  At one time, the family needs gas for the car, yet not all stations will allow them to stop.  Meanwhile, the little girl worries about what their new life will be as they are going north.  This is a helpful book to read when moving to another place and dealing with the unknown.  It is also an example of life during segregation in the 1960s.  #BookADay64
