Book Review: Tobe by Stella Gentry Sharpe

This is my 6 year old son’s favorite book in the whole world! It’s a sweet look into the life of an African-American farm family in rural North Carolina.
Stella Sharpe described Tobe as “a story of Negro life as it actually appears.” Indeed, at a glance, the book looks like a work of documentary. It features black-and-white photographs of real people (not actors) going about their daily lives, shows pictures from a real farm (not a stage set or studio), and uses real names. Supporting the documentary impression, many people who grew up with the farm life that Tobe depicts say the book rings true, and the actual people in the photos feel the book chronicles their life. - UNC Press
