Answer: She was from Alabama where it is much warmer

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Watsons Go to Birmingham," by Christopher Paul Curtis, is the story of Daniel and Wilona Watson, as well as their children, in Flint, Michigan. Because Wilona was raised in Alabama, where the weather is much warmer, she was not used to the cold weather and suffered because of it. Furthermore, she fears her children could freeze so she gets lots of warm clothes for them. The fourth chapter is called 'Froze Up Southern Folks," which is a direct reference to Mrs. Watson´s difficulty with the cold weather.
