“John Roy was only twenty-four years old, and he was still on the rise.“

This would be a great way to incorporate literature while teaching history!

This is a very informational book about a man named John Roy Lynch who works his way from being a slave to being a congressman.

Eight books down, and two more to go on the 3rd-5th grade list of WAW Award nominees!

Another awesome #nonfiction #picturebook focused on the life of an African American during & after slavery. This book showed a more in-depth look at what life in Antebellum South was like for former slaves. Likewise, the addition of a timeline and two maps at the end of the book allows readers to better understand the historical context of the story. I think this is another great book to use when introducing children to this historical period.
