Wow

Loved this book. What a great read. I want to learn more about the characters, especially Mingo and Olivia. Wish I could travel to this place and time. I'll read it over and over, again.

"Freedom is freedom, and I'll take it any way it comes."

Set in 1771 on the Massachusetts coast, Lenice U. Strohmeier's Mingo is the picture book rendition of a tale handed down through the generations, about a young girl named Olivia who remembers the words of Mingo, her father's slave and her friend: "Freedom is freedom, and I'll take it any way it comes." Moving color illustrations by Bill Farnsworth add an exquisite touch to this heartfelt and memorable story.
