A young girl learns a new meaning for freedom during the time of Reconstruction Ellen always knew the broom resting above the hearth was special. Before it was legal for her mother and father to officially be married, the broom was what made them a family anyway. But now all former slaves who had already been married in their hearts could register as lawful husband and wife. When Ellen and her family make the long trip to the courthouse dressed in their best, she brings the broom her parents had jumped so many years before. Even though freedom has come, Ellen knows the old traditions are important too. After Mama and Papa's names are recorded in the register, Ellen nearly bursts with pride as her parents jump the broom once again. Ellen is a wonderfully endearing character whose love for her family is brought to life in Daniel Minter's rich and eye-catching block print illustrations.Binding Type: Hardcover

Love this- glad I purchased it. Nice weight lets you pull off sheets with one hand. Like the novelty and ease of having the cleaner so handy.
Would definitely recommend.

Better than expected
Color: Stainless Steel, Color: Stainless Steel
I have to say, it has completely transformed my kitchen countertop organization. From the moment I unboxed it, the quality and thoughtfulness of the design were immediately apparent. The stainless steel construction feels extremely sturdy and durable, giving the holder a sleek, modern look that complements any kitchen décor. Unlike lighter, flimsier holders, this one feels solid and well-balanced, thanks to the weighted, non-slip base, which ensures it stays put even when tearing off a single sheet with one hand.
The spring-loaded tension arm is an absolute game-changer. I can tear off a paper towel effortlessly with just one hand, which is perfect when I’m cooking, cleaning, or juggling multiple tasks. No more awkward pulling or having to stabilize the roll with my other hand—it makes the process smooth and frustration-free.
One of my favorite features is the integrated spray bottle. Having a cleaning solution right on the holder is incredibly convenient. I can quickly grab the paper towel and spray my countertops or stovetop without having to search for a separate bottle, which makes daily cleaning routines much more efficient. The spray bottle is easy to refill, and the design keeps it snug and stable so it doesn’t tip over.
Setup was a breeze it came fully assembled, so I could start using it immediately. The overall footprint is compact, so it doesn’t take up much counter space, but it still accommodates standard-sized paper towel rolls comfortably. Even larger rolls fit without any problem, and the holder handles the weight without wobbling.
Overall, the Ultrean Paper Towel Holder with Spray Bottle combines functionality, durability, and style in one package. It’s perfect for busy kitchens, whether you’re cooking, cleaning, or entertaining guests. The convenience of one-handed tear, combined with the integrated spray bottle and sturdy base, makes it worth every penny. I’ve found myself reaching for it constantly, and it’s made my kitchen workflow so much smoother. Highly recommended for anyone looking to elevate their kitchen organization while adding a practical and stylish accessory.
