In Plain Sight

Author: Richard Jackson
Illustrator: Jerry Pinkney
Roaring Brook Press (2016)
Ages 4-8years


An African-American girl, Sophie, lives with her grandfather and parents. Every day after school she greets her grandfather and he always has something that has gone missing. Sophie is eager to find her grandfather's missing object and wanting to return it. back to him. 

Ultimately, I would not recommend this book for children to read because I do not think any valuable lesson of importance is taken from this story. I also think that the pictures are hard to make out and hard to understand what they are representing.
