Poet: The Remarkable Story of George Moses Horton

40 pp. | Peachtree | September, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56145-825-7 $16.95
(2) K-3 George Moses Horton, who taught himself to read and compose poetry, lived as a slave in North Carolina until he was sixty-six years old. Tate omits none of Horton's story's sadness but still makes it accessible to young readers and listeners. Gouache, ink, and pencil illustrations are as straightforward as the text but pack the appropriate emotional punch. Bib.
