From the Newbery Honor-winning author of Genesis Begins Again comes
a shimmering picture book that shines the light on Zora Neale
Hurston, the extraordinary writer and storycatcher extraordinaire
who changed the face of American literature. Zora was a girl who
hankered for tales like bees for honey. Now, her mama always told
her that if she wanted something, "to jump at de sun", because even
though you might not land quite that high, at least you'd get off
the ground. So Zora jumped from place to place, from the porch of
the general store where she listened to folktales, to Howard
University, to Harlem. And everywhere she jumped, she shined
sunlight on the tales most people hadn't been bothered to listen to
until Zora. The tales no one had written down until Zora. Tales on
a whole culture of literature overlooked...until Zora. Until Zora
jumped.
