Born into slavery, Belle had to endure the cruelty of several masters before she escaped to freedom. But she knew she wouldn't really be free unless she was helping to end injustice. That's when she changed her name to Sojourner and began traveling across the country, demanding equal rights for black people and for women. Many people weren't ready for her message, but Sojourner was brave, and her truth was powerful. And slowly, but surely as Sojourner's step-stomp stride, America began to change. Review: A Great Read for Third Graders Studying Black History - This story was an excellent fit for third grade students. They were able to make many connections to other blacks who shared similiar goals during slavery. I was concerned about the religious overtones of this story, but the children were able to discern the overall message without getting into their personal beliefs. Review: Love It! - Great book, my 3rd graders love it!

Good Book
The book is well written, although I dont like the ending because it portrays Sojourner Truth to be somewhat of an angry character which is not how she is described by people who knew her. I gave it four stars because it is a well put together book with beautiful illustrations. The children I have read it to like it well.
