Product Description

Loosely based on the life of Black American poet, Phillis Wheatley, LOUISA is a riveting story of how a little African girl was captured from her happy home by the Senegal River and sold into slavery in colonial America. How she was nurtured, educated, and rose to international celebrity as an authoress, before ultimately gaining her freedom, is a truly inspiring journey for readers of all ages.

This review is from: Louisa (Paperback)

This is a very educational book which gives a lot of insight into the lives of slaves back in the time of slavery. I always new that the slaves were terribly mistreated but I didn't think it was so bad.

This would make an excellent resource for a classroom or homeschool family.

This is a must read book for Black History month.
