*Award winner-Caldecott Honor Book
My boys learned about Henry "Box" Brown in their first chapter in history this year. To enhance their understanding of this courageous gentlemen, they read this picture book.
The text reveals how life was like for slaves who were in a family unit.
The illustrations by Mr. Nelson are powerful and expressive.
The author's note explains a little bit about his life after he escaped to freedom.
*Highly recommend for any student learning about slavery and its effects.
-Borrowed from the library.
