So Tall Within
So Tall Within: Sojourner Truth's Long Walk Toward Freedom | Gary D. Schmidt
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
From celebrated author Gary D. Schmidt comes a picture book biography of a giant in the struggle for civil rights, perfectly pitched for readers today. Sojourner Truth was born into slavery but possessed a mind and a vision that knew no bounds. So Tall Within traces her life from her painful childhood through her remarkable emancipation to her incredible leadership in the movement for rights for both women and African Americans. Her story is told with lyricism and pathos by Gary D. Schmidt, one of the most celebrated writers for children in the twenty-first century, and brought to life by award winning and fine artist Daniel Minter. This combination of talent is just right for introducing this legendary figure to a new generation of children.

An inspiring and informative story with incredible illustrations. I've spent several hours helping create read-aloud resources for volunteers who will be reading this book in classrooms of students from UTK to grade 3 (ages 4-8-ish). It feels like a huge responsibility to come up with reading questions that are relevant and honest but that also don't feel too overwhelming for students this young.

Butterfinger I need this book. 2d

I love this illustration! It represents the time when Isabella (Sojourner Truth) met her sister, Nancy but didn't know they were sisters.

Butterfinger Beautiful. I love her poetry and I have shared it with my fifth graders. 6y
