Let Freedom Sing

40 pp. | Blue Apple | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-934706-90-9 $16.99
(4) K-3 The text intersperses the lyrics of "This Little Light of Mine" with examples of how individual civil rights activists let their "light shine" ("Rosa Parks refused to move, / She let her light shine...Ruby Bridges walked alone. / She let her light shine"). Warm mixed-media illustrations have a retro-sixties appearance. The volume, though well meaning, is rather disjointed in presentation.
Reviewer: Henrietta M. Smith
