Peace, Locomotion Companion to Locomotion

Description

Lonnie and his sister, Lili, have been sent to live with separate foster families, so he decides it’s his job to be the “rememberer”–to write down everything that happens while they’re growing up. Lonnie’s musings are bittersweet; he misses his sister enormously, and with a foster brother in the army, concepts like Peace have a new meaning for Lonnie. This heartwarming companion to Jacqueline Woodson’s National Book Award finalist Locomotion is told solely through Lonnie’s letters, which are full of reflections on friendship, family, war, peace, and this crazy world we live in.
