The Sunday outing
Gloria Jean Pinkney (Author), Jerry Pinkney (Illustrator)
Ernestine, who loves going to the railroad station and watching the trains come and go, finally realizes her dream of going on a train trip. Ernestine, the young heroine of Back Home, and her great-aunt Odessa often ride the trolley to the railroad station to watch the trains from North Carolina come in. When Ernestine finally travels on a train to the place of her birth, everyone in her family sacrifices something to make her trip possible. Gloria Jean and Jerry Pinkney together depict family warmth as bright as sunshine
