Sinopse

Life on the farm with Granddaddy is full of hard work. Despite all the chores, Granddaddy always makes time for play, especially fishing trips. Even when there isn´t a bite to catch, he reminds young Michael that it takes patience to get what´s coming to you. One morning, when Granddaddy heads into town in his fancy suit, Michael knows that something very special must be happening - and sure enough, everyone is lined up at the town hall! For the very first time, Granddaddy is allowed to vote, and he couldn´t be more proud. But can Michael be patient when it seems that justice just can´t come soon enough? This powerful and touching true-life story shares one boy´s perspective on growing up in the segregated South, while beautiful illustrations depict the rural setting in tender detail.
