About this title

Review:

"Thomas, a young [African-American] child, and his grandfather are alone one stormy night when the lights go off. Thomas says he is not afraid but when he asks for a story, Grandfather tells about a time when he was very scared indeed. With striking artwork and words as mesmerizing as the art, this story about the nature of fear and human nature is wonderful." --"Booklist
