Both Visiting Day and Knock Knock,which won a 2014 Coretta Scott King Award, describe black families torn apart by a father’s imprisonment, but their similarities end there.
In Visiting Day we see a family that still sees itself as a family. In Knock Knock, circumstances are harder to understand—just as they would be for a young child.
The boy at the center of Knock Knock begins the book by telling us of a game he and his father share: Every morning his father knocks on his bedroom door, and he pretends to be asleep until his father is beside his bed. Then he “jumps into his arms.” But one morning, the boy’s father isn’t there. The boy doesn’t know why, and we are left to guess the reason, and to read the boy’s letters to his absent father.
After a long time, the boy’s father writes back. “No longer will I be there to knock on your door,” he tells his son, “so you must learn to knock for yourself. Knock knock down the doors that I could not… Knock knock for me, for as long as you become your best.” The book ends with father and son reunited, but only after the boy we saw at the beginning of the book has grown into a man. Knock Knock began its life not as a children’s book but as a monologue(长篇 独白 ), inspired by author Daniel Beaty’s own experience of his father’s imprisonment, which began when Beaty was three years old. Visiting Day is a similarly personal story for its author, Jacqueline Woodson, and its illustrator(*图 画家 ), James E. Ransome. Ransome had previously kept the “family secret” of his brother’s imprisonment, and Woodson grew up visiting her favorite uncle in prison.
