Big Papa and the Time Machine

Big Papa and the Time Machine
by Daniel Bernstrom, illustrated by Shane W. Evans
New York: HarperCollins Publishers, 2020

A young boy is nervous about starting school. His grandfather shows up in his 1952 Ford to take them way, way back. They visit points in Big Papa's life, from his childhood in Arkansas to working high up in the sky in Chicago. Along the way, the boy learns that being brave can mean many different things.

Illustrated in gorgeous shades of blue, green, and yellow, this book takes you on a journey through the decades. Looking at moments in African American history, the story shows us what courage looks like.
