Written by Walter Dean Myers, Illustrated by Floyd Cooper
This beautifully written and illustrated story of the life of Frederick Douglass is inspiring and informative. It is told in a way easily understood by young readers and engaging for all readers. The muted illustrations add to the feel of the story. Additional features are a timeline of Douglass’s life, a bibliography, and text of the document officially freeing Frederick Douglass.
