of making friends with words,
setting free the secrets
that lived in books.
Born into slavery, young Booker T. Washington could only dream of learning to read and write. After emancipation, Booker began a five-hundred-mile journey, mostly on foot, to Hampton Institute, taking his first of many steps towards a college degree. When he arrived, he had just fifty cents in his pocket and a dream about to come true. The young slave who once waited outside of the schoolhouse would one day become a legendary educator of freedmen.
Award-winning artist Bryan Collier captures the hardship and the spirit of one of the most inspiring figures in American history, bringing to life Booker T. Washington's journey to learn, to read, and to realize a dream.

"Booker
T.
Washington
is
often
attacked
for
compromising
with,
rather
than
attacking,
the
political
establishment,
but
in
this
handsome
picture-book
biography,
the
focus
is
on
an
amazing
achievement
in
his
youth,
when
he
walked
500
miles
from
his
West
Virginia
home
'without
a
single
penny
in
his
pocket'
to
make
it
to
school."
