My Name Is Truth: The Life of Sojourner Truth

I'm listening to The Narrative of Sojourner Truth as an audiobook, so I thought it would be a great time to read this picture version of her life.

“My mama was a slave woman called Mau-Mau
with sweet arms and eyes like a hawk
I had a daddy, too, Bomefree,

they loved all twelve of us
and had to see us sold off one by one
like horses for work

their hearts most broke.”

Wow. Poetic writing, and big bright illustrations. I had no idea that Sojourner Truth had such a strong voice, such a deep spiritual heart.
