Almost to Freedom
Ebony, Feb, 2005
ALMOST TO FREEDOM (Lerner Publishing Group, $15.95 each), by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, illustrated by Colin Bootman, is a compelling story told from the point of view of an enslaved child's beloved rag doll. Lindy and her doll Sally are best friends--they do everything together, even pick cotton. So on the night when Lindy and her family run away in search of freedom, Sally goes too.
This is a touching story about friendship, hope and the strength of the human spirit.
