This review is from: Coretta Scott King (Journey to Freedom: The African American Library) (Library Binding)

This book was the first in a series of biographies that were chosen for summer reading by my 7 year old. She loves to read and we challenged ourselves to use some of our reading time to read biographies about people who have an important place in history. The Journey To Freedom series is beautifully written for children and contains many real photos, not illustrations. Even I learned a few things reading this with her. I encourage reading biographies that are written for the appropriate age level of the child. Children are inquisitive and soak up information like sponges. We had many conversations after reading this about segregation. It is a hard subject for today's child to grasp. She was appropriately astonished. It is hard for me to grasp as well as hatred is not something I will ever understand.
