Words Set Me Free: The Story of Young Frederick Douglass

32 pp. | Simon/Wiseman | January, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-5903-8 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by James E. Ransome. Vibrant acrylic and oil paint illustrations accompany this story of Frederick Douglass's childhood from plantation life to city life in Baltimore, where his owner's kind wife taught him the alphabet and introduced him to literacy and the idea of freedom. The powerful narrative provides a solid introduction to Douglass and the topic of slavery.
