A young girl learns a new meaning for freedom during the time of Reconstruction

Ellen always knew the broom resting above the hearth was special. Before it was legal for her mother and father to officially be married, the broom was what made them a family anyway. But now all former slaves who had already been married in their hearts could register as lawful husband and wife.

When Ellen and her family make the long trip to the courthouse dressed in their best, she brings the broom her parents had jumped so many years before. Even though freedom has come, Ellen knows the old traditions are important too. After Mama and Papa's names are recorded in the register, Ellen nearly bursts with pride as her parents jump the broom once again.

Ellen is a wonderfully endearing character whose love for her family is brought to life in Daniel Minter's rich and eye-catching block print illustrations.

Skims dupe
Size: 34DD, Color: Black- Unlined
This bra is amazing. It fits perfectly and is super comfortable throughout the day, providing great support without excessive padding. I’ve had this bra for a while now and have had no issues, and no wires are sticking out on the sides which tend to be a common issue after long wear of a bra, but not with this one I think it’s a great skims dupe

Perfect everyday bra
Size: 38D, Color: Beige - Unlined
This is by far the most comfortable everyday bra I’ve ever worn! The fabric is soft and breathable, offering just the right amount of support without feeling constricting. It’s perfect for all-day wear, and I barely notice it’s on. The fit is spot on, and I love that it’s simple yet functional for everyday use. It holds up well after washing too, keeping its shape and comfort. If you’re looking for a bra that combines comfort and practicality, this one is a winner!

Comfortable for everyday wear
Size: 42D, Color: Gentle Rose - Unlined
I wear a 40D and this bra provides solid support for everyday use. It’s comfortable enough for all-day wear and doesn’t dig in or feel restrictive. The fit is true to size, and the coverage is good, especially if you prefer something more full-coverage and secure. That said, I wouldn’t recommend it for high-impact or active use—it’s best suited for regular daily wear rather than workouts. Overall, a comfortable and reliable option if you’re looking for support without sacrificing comfort.

very nice if fits right
Size: 34G, Color: Black- Unlined
it's such a nice bra. smooth and pleasant fabric. if only cups could be a little deeper. it cuts trough the boob and doesn't look nice my size is 34G - but boob still spills out, tried 36f - same. will try and see if 36G will work but afraid wire diameter will go up and won't fit me properly

Stylish and practical backpack for work and travel
Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch, Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch
For both everyday work and travel, this bag has proven to be an excellent option. I can feel secure bringing my computer around because to the 15.6-inch laptop compartment's solid fit and ample padding. Notebooks, chargers, and a few personal belongings can fit in the spacious main compartment without feeling crowded. The apricot color looks polished but still casual enough to wear outside of work, and I really enjoy the sleek and fashionable shape. Even when the bag is completely packed, the straps remain comfy, and the stitching seems sturdy. I particularly enjoy that there are several pockets, including smaller ones for a phone, pencils, or keys. It makes everything accessible and well-organized. If the material gets a bit dusty while traveling, it washes clean and the zippers open smoothly. It is lightweight, adaptable, and functions well as a carry-on, purse-style bag, or business backpack. All things considered, it's a good everyday bag that is both practical and stylish.
