Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 1-4-In this brief biography, readers learn about a woman who was born a slave but worked hard and became a famous writer and civil rights leader. Slim, attractive, and full of photographs, the book leads readers through Sojourner Truth's life chronologically in large, inviting print. Despite its visual attractiveness, the content is oversimplified and repetitive. The author reports Truth as being thrilled upon being freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and harps on Truth's "hard work" yet reveals no sources. While appropriate biographies are desperately needed for new and reluctant readers, especially about figures such as Sojourner Truth, this book is disappointing.
