Part autobiographical, part fictional, this allegorical tale sparkles with symbolic and historical references central to African-American culture. The spectacular artwork resonates with color and texture. Children will delight in the universal dream of mastering one's world by flying over it. A practical and stunningly beautiful book.\"--(starred) \u003ci\u003eHorn Book.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dragonfly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780517885444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.64h x 9.22w x 0.22d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Coretta Scott King Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/13\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/14\/2014 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e6144 \/ Tar Beach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Faith Ringgold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36638048059548,"sku":"9780517885444","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b8341dd9-6988-4e57-87f5-9f35fbe0b45b.jpg?v=1603846330","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/tar-beach-9780517885444","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
