About the Author

Ruth Vander Zee, teacher and author, says that Mississippi Morning was inspired by a sermon she heard. "The story struck a chord with me because I was raised with certain prejudices that at one time or another were comfortable or unquestioned," she says. Ruth has written a curriculum for young adults and a children�s book, Erika�s Story (Creative Editions), which tells of a young girl�s rescue from the Holocaust. Ruth is a resident of Miami, Florida.

Floyd Cooper has illustrated many books for young readers, several of which he also wrote. He began drawing at the age of three and has been illustrating books for children since 1988. Floyd earned Coretta Scott King Honors for several titles: Brown Honey in Broomwheat Tea, Meet Danitra Brown (both HarperCollins), and I Have Heard of a Land (HarperTrophy). He received the inaugural New Jersey Center for the Book Award in 2002 and also gained recognition from the Society of Illustrators and the American Library Association. Floyd Cooper lives in Gillette, New Jersey.

Store Description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we?re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.
