Phillis Sings Out Freedom: The Story of George Washington and Phillis Wheatley

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Keeter. Malaspina sets the scene in Revolutionary War–era America, beginning with George Washington leading "his ragged Continental Army." She then shifts to the life of African American poet (and former slave) Wheatley, culminating in her sending a tribute poem to Washington and having him read it. The text is a little choppy, but the events, shown in vivid oil paintings, are engaging. Reading list.
