Sojourner Truth's Step-Stomp Stride by Andrea Davis Pinkney illustrated by Brian Pinkney

With lyrical text, this wife-husband team reveal Sojourner Truth's passion for freedom and truth.  The text almost could be sung at parts or has a poetic rhythm to it.
The Pinkneys begin with her birth and continue to share the impact her life had on others-not just African American slaves but women.
Strategy: inferring-figurative language
