Working Cotton by Sherley Anne Williams, 1997
This book is about a girl and her family that work in a cotton field. The illustrations make it look like it is a decent place to work at this time. The story does at times reflect the tiring and hard work that some of her family members do. However, the young girl exhibits a sense of pride in her family for their hard work. This book is not very helpful in the history aspect but it could be a good read for cultural diversity.
