     This is a true story about Dave who was a slave from the 1800’s.  He valued the soil as a environmental resource to create pottery.  This pottery was important to Dave because of the things it kept together. Dave is now recognized as a talented artist from his time period.  I would use this book as an example of the importance of soil and environmental resources and more importantly the time period.  This would provide a visual aid or an example of the time period for student in third grade through sixth grade.
