(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Floyd Cooper. Quaker Prudence Crandall created a school for African American girls in largely white 1830s Connecticut. The school's short-lived history ended in violence. Alexander's and Nelson's sonnets, which take on the voices of individual students, create a portrait of a determined community of learners. Cooper's spacious landscapes ground the book, and his portraits have a quiet dignity and elegance.
