미국 남부지역의 특산품인 골풀로 만든 바구니는 높은 예술성으로 인해 스미소니언과 바티칸을 비롯해서 세계 유수의 미술관에서 전시되고 있습니다. 이 책은 이 바구니가 미국에서 만들어지게 된 유래를 할머니가 손녀에게 들려주는 형식으로 설명해 줍니다.
이 바구니는 수백년 전 아프리카 서해안 지역에서 남자들이 만들었습니다. 소녀의 조상도 이 바구니를 만드는 법을 어른들로 부터 배웠습니다만, 어느날 노예상인들에게 잡혀서 미국 땅에 끌려 오게 되었습니다. 비참한 노예 생활 중에도 틈틈히 바구니를 만들던 소녀의 조상은 남북전쟁으로 인해 자유를 얻게 되고, 그 후손들은 농지를 경작하면서 한편으로는 조상으로부터 배운 기술을 헛되이 하지 않고 계속 바구니를 만들어 왔습니다. 바구니는 골풀, 사탕풀, 야자수줄기 등을 이용해서 만들며, 바구니의 밑바닥 가운데서 시작해서 원을 그리듯 넓히다가 계속 해서 중간에 끊기지 않고 위로 짜나가야 합니다. 바구니를 만들 때 원이 끊어지지 않고 계속 이어나가서 하나의 작품이 완성되듯, 이 바구니를 만드는 방법도 끊어지지 않고 후손에게 계속 계승이 되어서 오늘날에 이르게 되었습니다.
책 말미에는 이 바구니의 유래와 가치, 그리고 참고문헌 목록이 함께 수록되어 있습니다.

Book Description
As she teaches her granddaughter to sew a traditional sweetgrass basket, a grandmother weaves a story, going back generations to her grandfather's village in faraway Africa. There, as a boy, he learned to make baskets so tightly woven they could hold the rain. 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.
School Library Journal
A book about the origins of the intricate technique and art of basket making as preserved by the Africans who were brought to America as slaves and their descendants. A grandmother guides her granddaughter's hands as she teaches her the art of basket sewing. When the child asks her how she came to make baskets, the woman's answer harkens back to a time when one of their ancestors, the child's "old-timey grandfather," is being initiated into manhood in a village in Africa. Part of the rite involves being able to make a grass basket woven or coiled so tightly that it can hold water. Soon after this event, the young man is captured, transported to America, and sold as a slave at an auction in Charleston, SC. During the day he works the fields, but by night he makes baskets, and this skill is passed down from one generation to the next. Raven's text masterfully frames several hundred years of African-American history within the picture-book format. Lewis's double-page, watercolor images are poignant and perfectly matched to the text and mood. A section at the end of the book offers information about the "coil" or "Gullah" baskets, as they are known today, as well as the regions of Africa where this art form originated. This title works as both a story and informational book; consider it as a first purchase.
Booklist *Starred Review*
A child today learns from her grandmother how to make a sweet grass Gullah basket, a craft that her ancestors brought with them from West Africa to South Carolina and Georgia. The clear poetic words and exquisite watercolor illustrations depict how the small circular basket holds the big circle of African American history "past slavery and freedom, old ways and new." Far across the ocean, the child's ancestor learned as a young boy to harvest tall grassy reeds and weave them into baskets to winnow the rice. When he came as a slave to a strange land and worked in the fields, he found similar grasses and continued to weave baskets in the old way, as did the woman he married. They passed on their craft and their stories, as the child's grandmother is doing now. Rooted in daily life, the metaphors grow naturally from the weaving action, with fingers that talk and show "the road ahead was over and through." The small basket serves as a beautiful way to focus the sweep of African American history, and Lewis' astonishing pictures combine the panoramas of upheaval and war with portraits of individuals in small circles weaving and passing on their heritage in craft and story. The dramatic endpapers reinforce the strength of those ever-widening woven circles, their delicate beauty and enduring connections. A historical note and bibliography are appended.
