"A remarkable story of resilience, faith, and hope." -- School
Library Journal (starred review)
Inspired by a true account, here is the compelling story of a child who
arrives in America on the slave ship Amistad--and eventually makes her
way home to Africa. Narrated in a remarkable first-person voice, this
fictionalized book of memories of a real-life figure retells history
through the eyes of a child. Lush, full-color illustrations by Robert
Byrd, plus archival photographs and documents, bring an extraordinary
journey to life.
