Frederick's Journey: The Life of Frederick Douglass: Big Words
Autor Doreen Rappaport Ilustrat de London Ladden Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 noi 2015 – vârsta de la 6 până la 8 ani
When
Frederick
was
twenty,
he
escaped
to
the
North,
where
he
spread
his
abolitionist
beliefs
through
newspaper
articles,
autobiographies,
and
speeches.
He
believed
that
all
people-regardless
of
color
or
gender-were
entitled
to
equal
rights.
It
is
Douglass's
words,
as
well
as
his
life,
that
still
provide
hope
and
inspiration
across
generations.
In this installment of the critically acclaimed Big Words series, Doreen Rappaport captures Frederick's journey from boy to man, from slavery to freedom, by weaving Frederick's powerful words with her own. London Ladd's strong and evocative illustrations combine with the text to create a moving portrait of an extraordinary life.
Praise for the Big Words series:
