[ 책 소개 ]
* 1999년 Coretta Scott King Honor 수상작
* 2000년-2001년 Sequoyah Children's Book Award Masterlist
1880년대, 미국 서부지역에서는 정착민의 수를 늘리기 위해 빈 땅에 말뚝만 박으면 무상으로 농지를 나눠줬습니다. 하지만 황량한 서부 초원지역에서 새로운 농장을 가꾼다는 것은 보통 어려운 일이 아니었죠. 이 책은 노예상태에서 해방된 흑인 가족이 오클라호마 지역에 정착해서 희망과 용기, 그리고 따뜻한 가족애로 어려움을 극복하고 농장을 일구는 과정을 감동적으로 보여줍니다.

From the Publisher
I have heard of a land
Where the imagination has no fences
Where what is dreamed one night
Is accomplished the next day
In the late 1880s, signs went up all around America - land was free in the Oklahoma territory. And it was free to everyone: Whites, Blacks, men and women alike. All one needed to stake a claim was hope and courage, strength and perseverance. Thousands of pioneers, many of them African-Americans newly freed from slavery, headed west to carve out a new life in the Oklahoma soil.
Drawing upon her own family history, National Book Award winner Joyce Carol Thomas has crafted an unforgettable anthem to these brave and determned people from America's past. Richly illustrated by Coretta Scott King Award honoree Floyd Cooper, I Have Heard of a Land is a glorious tribute to the Afrian-American pioneer spirit.
