Frederick Douglass: The Lion Who Wrote History

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | January, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-027709-3 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. In this laudatory biography, each double-page spread covers one event in Douglass's life, such as his determination to learn to read, his work as a caulker while still enslaved, his escape to freedom, and his advocacy for voting rights. The strongest segments concern his early life. Cooper's powerful portraits consistently place Douglass in the foreground of historical settings. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Betty Carter
