Lovely book, gently telling a story of slavery through the words of a three times removed grandchild. The illustrations are outstanding, and the symbolism can be another avenue for discussion.
As a reading specialist with over 35 years in classroom instruction, I would recommend this content for 4th graders. It's an age that children are developing a more mature awareness of fairness and right/wrong. Another book that reinforces those concepts is "The Big Lie : A True Story". by Isabella Leitner, if you can get a copy through used books sites.
