Below: Illustrations from: The Ragdoll
by Yvonne Augustin, Illustrated by Cecily Harper Mitchell
The Ragdoll is featured under Stories Worth Talking About at
Bedtime-Story.
10 year old Krissie is heartbroken.
Her father has just gotten a major promotion and the family has to move to Chicago.
To lessen the child's sorrow at having to leave friends and family behind, Krissie's
grandmother gives her a well-worn little rag doll named Eugene. The Ragdoll has
been treasured and passed down by the women in their family since the era of slavery.
Krissie's grandmother gently relates the story of her own ancestor, child of a
slave. The child's mother had been told that her little girl was going to be sold
and sent away, because the family who owned the slaves had fallen on hard times.
The Ragdoll, made with love by the child's mother, was hastily thrust into the
child's hands as the little girl was loaded into a wagon. The Ragdoll became all
the child had left to remember her family by. Wonderful story, wonderful
illustrations.
