A young girl and her grandmother make a long bus trip to visit the girl's father in prison every month in Visiting Day by Jacqueline Woodson and James Ransome. LeVar meets a family separated by a prison sentence and goes along on a real-life visiting day to find out what life is like for the kids as well as for the incarcerated parent.
