So Tall Within ~ Gary D. Schmidt

So Tall Within

Written by Gary D. Schmidt
Illustrated by Daniel Minter

This book tells the story of a woman named Isabella who persevered through the heartbreaking wretchedness of slavery and went on to be one of the most significant figures in American history. Better known as Sojourner Truth, this amazingly remarkable woman told her story and fought for Freedom for years! “And when Slavery Time finally ended, she felt so tall within.”

I appreciate this book as well as the biographical note at the end because I learned things about Sojourner Truth that I didn’t know before! Read more >>
