[ 책 소개 ]
"Back Home"에서 어린 소녀 어니스틴은 자신이 태어나고 삼촌이 살고 있는 고향을 방문합니다. 이 책은 어니스틴이 어떻게 고향을 방문하게 되는지의 과정을 설명합니다.
매주 일요일마다 어니스틴은 교회를 다녀온 큰 숙모 Odessa와 함께 고향인 북 캐롤라이나로 향하는 기차를 보러 역에 갑니다. 어니스틴은 트롤리 카를 타고 가면서 엄마의 친척들이 고향의 농장으로 초대했지만 부모님이 가지 못하게 했다고 큰 숙모에게 이야기합니다. 큰 숙모는 아마도 부모님이 이사를 하기 때문인 것 같다며 조금만 기다리라고 어니스틴을 위로합니다. 고민하던 부모님은 마침내 어니스틴을 고향에 갈 수 있도록 허락하고 어니스틴은 너무 기뻐합니다. 엄마는 어니스틴에게 가족 앨범을 보여줍니다. 마침내 출발하는 날... 어니스틴은 꿈에도 그리던 "Silver Star" 기차를 타고 고향으로 떠납니다...
4차례 Caldecott 상을 수상한 Jerry Pinkney의 수채화 그림이 인상적입니다.

표지가 두꺼운 판지나 보드지가 아닌 비교적 얇은 종이를 사용해서 만든 책이며, 실박음질 대신에 풀로 제본처리하는 경우가 많습니다. 일반적으로 하드커버나 보드북에 비해서 가격이 저렴합니다. 소프트커버로 불리우기도 합니다. 책의 이음새 부분이 접히거나 휘는 내구성이 그리 좋지는 않은 책입니다.

Publisher's Weekly
The Pinkneys team up once again for a prequel to Back Home , this time depicting young Ernestine in her Philadelphia neighborhood just prior to the train trip to North Carolina that is the subject of the earlier book. Ernestine has heard so much about her relatives and Lumberton, N.C., the town where she was born, that she's dying to see them. But the journey south costs more than the family can afford, so Ernestine makes do by taking Sunday outings to the train station. There she can watch the cars pull out and dream about being on one. After some artful appeals and money-saving sacrifices, Ernestine's travel fantasy becomes a reality. Gloria Pinkney skillfully captures the fidgety impatience of childhood. Her level-headed adult characters speak knowingly without sounding maudlin. A few colorful phrases and period details, such as riding a trolley and listening to the Sunday Gospel Hour on the radio, give the text an authentic flair. Jerry Pinkney's pale watercolors include several tender, warmly lit portraits. The yellowish-brown backgrounds, unfortunately, add an almost dulling sameness to many scenes. Fans of Back Home will especially enjoy this book, yet it stands on its own as well, affording readers a handsome window onto one family's history. Ages 5-9. (June)
Children's Literature
Every Sunday, Ernestine and Great Aunt Odessa ride the trolley to the railroad station to watch the silver giants roll in. Ernestine keeps her eyes peeled for the Palmetto and the Silver Star, the trains that travel all the way to Lumberton, North Carolina, near the farm where she was born. She imagines what it would be like to visit her birthplace and the relatives that Mama and Daddy talk about. But it doesn't look like her train trip on the Silver Star will happen anytime soon. That is until Odessa gives Ernestine the wisdom to make it happen. Lovingly illustrated by award-winning watercolorist Jerry Pinkney. - Marilyn Bagel
Children's Literature
In this book, a city girl, Ernestine, dreams of taking a train to see her birthplace in North Carolina. The story ends where Back Home begins. Back Home brings to life Gloria's remembrances of a childhood summer when she left Philadelphia to spend time with her "kinfolk" in Lumberton, North Carolina. The main character, Ernestine, bears her mother's name. The writing is a blending of true events and characters, fiction built on "giving myself and my mother the childhoods that we really wanted" and the intrigue needed to turn personal history into a universal story. - Susie Wilde
School Library Journal
K-Gr 3-A companion book to this talented team's Back Home (Dial, 1992). Eight-year-old Ernestine and her Great-Aunt Odessa go to the North Philadelphia Station every Sunday to watch the trains heading south. The woman, whose deceased husband worked for the railroad, always prepares a snack and takes this opportunity to pass reminiscences on to her grandniece. Born in Lumberton, North Carolina, Ernestine longs to visit her relatives there, but her family is saving to buy a house and can't afford a ticket. She offers to give up new clothes for the coming school year, and in light of her sacrifice, her parents each make one of their own so that she can make the trip. Gloria Jean Pinkney reaches back into her childhood to create another realistic and moving depiction of African-American life. The loving and supportive family she portrays recognizes and celebrates the importance of shared memory. The text reflects the true essence of African-American dialogue and meshes with Jerry Pinkney's illustrations, which continue in the same distinguished style found in Robert San Souci's The Talking Eggs (1989), Valerie Flournoy's The Patchwork Quilt (1985, both Dial).-Barbara Osborne Williams, Queens Borough Public Library, Jamaica, NY
Booklist
Ages 4-8. Back Home (1992) was about Ernestine's first visit to her aunt and uncle's farm in North Carolina, where she was born. This upbeat picture book is set just before that visit, when Ernestine dreams of going on that journey "back home." Every Sunday Ernestine rides the trolley with her great-aunt Odessa to the Philadelphia railway station to watch the trains pass through; Ernestine listens to family stories and imagines herself riding south to the farm. She saves and plans and prepares with her parents and her great-aunt, and finally, all on her own, she boards the Silver Star and waves goodbye. This time the full-page illustrations in colored pencil and watercolors are of a city neighborhood, including the bustling station platform. Inside Ernestine's home the rooms are filled with light and intricately patterned clothes and furnishings. Gloria Pinkney draws on her own memories to create a sense of the period and a sense of childhood. On the station platform, Ernestine is bursting with excitement; in contrast, her father is quiet, remembering. The members of the family are strongly individualized, and they are connected. Surrounded by their love, this is one happy child. Hazel Rochman |
