1992 children's book
Working Cotton is a 1992 Caldecott Honor Book, Coretta Scott King Honor Book for Illustration, and an ALA Notable Book. It was written by Sherley Anne Williams and illustrated by Carole Byard. It was based on Williams's childhood experience in the Fresno cotton fields.
The Gale Group, an education, advocacy, and technology company that provides advisory curricula to libraries and schools, selected "Working Cotton" for its 2002 compendium "Teaching Children Mathematics" (Vol. 8, Issue 8), published by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Inc., as they deemed the book a resource for teaching schoolchildren about increments of time and the hours on a clock. The "Working Cotton" entry in the compendium is called ""Working Cotton": Toward an understanding of time" and was authored by Eula Ewing Monroe, Michelle P. Orme, and Lynnette B. Erickson.
