Locomotion & Peace, Locomotion

Locomotion & Peace, Locomotion  by Jacqueline Woodson

In Locomotion, Lonnie uses poetry to tell the story of how he and his sister Lili came to be in separate foster homes. In Peace, Locomotion, Lonnie continues their story in a series of letters to Lili. Telling the stories of starting a new school year, having a foster brother come home from the war, and trying to balance the memories of his old life with the realities of his new life, Lonnie lets Lili know how important she is to them even though they no longer live together.
