Big Papa and the Time Machine
Both tender and whimsical, Big Papa and the Time Machine follows a grandfather and grandson who travel through time in a beloved 1952 Ford, in and out of poignant moments in Big Papa's twentieth-century life where they discover the true meaning of being brave.
A little boy who lives with his grandpa isn't reprimanded for being afraid to go to school one day. Instead, Big Papa takes him away in his time machine—a 1952 Ford—back to all of the times when he himself was scared of something life was handing him.
In this dreamlike journey, Daniel Bernstrom and Shane W. Evans masterfully explore crucial moments of African American history—happy and sad—inviting the young and the old to share their stories of courage across time.
Back matter includes a note from the author that explains his inspiration for the story as well as a photograph of him and the real Big Papa.
