Product Details

Praise

★ ”A glorious poetic celebration of the teacher and students at a Connecticut school that defied mid-19th-century convention to educate African-American girls.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

★ ”The images in their poems and in Cooper’s quiet, dramatic pastel illustrations compellingly capture the haunting history.” —Booklist, starred review

“Deftly crafted, interweaving colloquial and lofty language; reading aloud will emphasize the sonorous strength of the language, while the individual perspectives suggest possibilities for reader’s theater.” —Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
