Henry's Freedom Box

I think I would recommend this book to everyone who care about slavery and think everyone should be equal and live in peaceful time.

A wonderful way to teach Black History to elementary students. The writing in this book was beautiful. This story resonates with you long after you've finished reading it.

The illustrations by Kadir Nelson are exquisite, and this historical true story is told in a simple way that children can appreciate.

A beautifully illustrated, gently told story. This was an excellent way to introduce some of the lesser atrocities of slavery to my 6 year old daughter in a way that she could understand. Would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic book, with the most powerful illustrations! A true story telling the tale of the pain of growing up as a slave. This is a must for any history topic on slavery in Key stage 1 and above. I highly recommend.
