They lived a normal, middle-class life on a street that was very diverse. It's not that the other kind of stories aren't important. But I got tired of African American children showing up in literature a day late and a dollar short.\"\u003cbr\u003eThese three books show Miami Jackson's third-going-on-fourth-grade life--getting through the last few days of school before summer vacation, finding his place in summer baseball camp, and dealing with a no-nonsense new teacher--with humor and irrepressible attitude.\u003cbr\u003ePatricia McKissack and Fredrick McKissack have written tons of wonderful books for children, such as several Coretta Scott King Award-winning books, including \"Black Hands, White Sails; and\" Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? Pat has also been honored with the Virginia Hamilton Award.
