Write On, Mercy!: The Secret Life of Mercy Otis Warren

40 pp. | Boyds/Calkins | March, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59078-822-6 $16.95
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Alexandra Wallner. This picture book biography details the life of a Patriot poet who kept her identity hidden until years after the Revolutionary War. The informative text drives home the message that expectations for women in the eighteenth century were low; excerpts of Warren's poems are challenging but manageable for an intermediate audience. The pale-toned gouache illustrations capture the New England parlor atmosphere.
