The Story of Sojourner Truth by Anita Crawford Clark details the life of an important figure in American History. Sojourner Truth was a humanitarian who fought for justice and worked hard for the fair treatment of people of color. Sojourner Truth gave a voice to those that didn't have one.

Sojourner Truth's story is an important one and I love that there are authors such as Anita Crawford Clark who can tell her story in a way that is appropriate for our young learners. As a second grade teacher, I am always on the lookout for books that my students can see themselves in or are a reflection of the diversity in my class. We do biographies and write about important people in history and this is a book I will be adding to my classroom collection. We do a writing unit on biographies and Sojourner Truth would be a great addition to that unit.

This book has short chapters for our early readers and a quiz/discussion questions in the back with real pictures which I felt was important for students to see. It also has a glossary to help with important and difficult vocabulary.

Sojourner Truth's life and legacy is a difficult one to read about but is so important for students to learn about and learn from. Her legacy is important and I hope our young learners see her as a role model and her influence on them can continue as they grow as individuals.

I want students ,especially the girls to see that their voice matters no matter the color of their skin or their gender and they can make a difference in the world.

Thank you to Anita Crawford Clark and Netgalley. I voluntarily read this book and gave an honest review.
