Even after being stolen away to a slave ship bound for America, he remembers what he learned and passes these memories on to his children - as they do theirs, so that ." . . when your fingers talk just right ""that circle will go out and out again -""past slavery and freedom, old ways and new, ""and your basket will hold the past . . ." This powerful picture book, with its rhythmic text and evocative paintings, spirals through time, becoming a triumphant song - a rich story of a craft, a culture, and a people.
