The Riches of Oseola McCarty

48 pp. | Whitman | December, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-6961-5 $$14.95
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Daniel Minter. While retired laundress Oseola McCarty has become well known because of her endowment of a large scholarship fund to the University of Southern Mississippi, Coleman instead focuses upon the life and faith that made such a gift possible. Illustrated with handsome but appropriately modest block prints, the account is plainspoken and easy to read; the chapter-book format is appealing.
