(1) 4-6 Illustrated by Gregory Christie. Rockwell traces the life of "Isabella," who renamed herself Sojourner Truth when she began her journeys at the age of forty-six to speak out for the abolition of slavery. In Christie's paintings faces are composed of impressionistic dabs of brilliant colors that fuse into telling characterizations. It's a powerful story, well told and handsomely set: worthy of its courageous subject.
