Illustrated by
Brian Pinkney.
Using a folksy style that meshes well with Sojourner's voice, Andrea Pinkney focuses on Truth's determination and hard work as an abolitionist, preacher, and advocate for women's rights. Brian Pinkney's illustrations show the tall, imposing woman outlined with thick black lines against sketched-in backgrounds, keeping her the focus of each double-page spread and conveying the strength of her personality. Reading list.
