A stunning account of a true episode in the childhood of the famous African American writer and activist, by the acclaimed author of Zora Hurston and the Chinaberry Tree. Lucas's full-color pastel drawings evoke one boy's strength and spirit.
Easy to understand, but not shirking the harsh reality that Fredrick Douglas faced. The illustrations were tasteful and not too graphic. I would recommend it for children six and up.
