Report: Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman?

     I finished a book yesturday called Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? by Patricia C. McKissack and Fredrick McKissack. This book is a biography on Sojourner's life.

     In 1797, slave named Isabella was born in New York. After being freed in 1827, she chose the name Sojourner Truth. Although she could not read, she quote the Bible word for word, and was a powerful speaker. An imposing six feet tall, with a profound faith in God's love and deep rich voice, she stirred audiences, until her death in 1883.

     I liked this book because it was against slavery and had a lot of power and meaning to it. I recommend this book to kids 6+.
This is my report.
