I had my ten-year old read this book to himself to support our study of slavery in Colonial America. I read my own copy and was amazed by this generous man.
Ms. Yates begins when Amos (At-mun) is a young prince in Africa. She then relates how he was captured, his years of slavery, how he earned his freedom and how he lived out his life in freedom.
Amos's forgiving spirit, emphatic heart, and generous actions are ones to emulate and over which to marvel.
This biography generated a lot of discussion points!
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
