"Me and Uncle Romie" is a story about a young boy from North Carolina who visits his Aunt Nanette and Uncle Romie in Harlem, New York. At the beginning of the story he is very nervous and unsure about the trip because his aunt and uncle did not have any children, and Uncle Romie looked like "a bald-headed, fierce-eyed giant" in all of the pictures he had seen.
