THE COMPANION: BOOKS AND PEOPLE,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pennies to Dollars: The Story of Maggie Lena Walker (Hardcover)
Flawlessly told, the story of Richmond's famous black humanitarian and entrepreneur vividly comes to life for young and old readers alike. Branch expertly uses her professional storytelling skills to present factual information, and Rice's background in education is evident in the organization of the tremendous amount of material into 15 succinct chapters. Photographs are interspersed throughout the chapters to visually extend the the text. Walker accomplished a multitude of professional goals while experiencing personal tragedy: the murder of her stepfather, the deaths of two children, her husband and eldest son; and the crippling physical disability that plagued her las years. A life that is inspirational to young people of all races. Walker's biography is a must. Highly recommended. Cassie Whetstone, Librarian, Keyser High School, Keyser, West Virginia-- THE COMPANION:BOOKS AND PEOPLE, fall 1997
