FREEDOM AT DAWN, by Leah Schanke and beautifully illustrated by Oboh Moses.
In 1862, seven-year-old Lizzy’s dreams of freedom may come true when her father, Robert Smalls, steals a Confederate ship to sail his family to freedom. In the most dire moment, she discovers the depth of her own courage.
On Sunday, February 8th, we hosted Leah Schanke, the author of the children’s book Freedom at Dawn. She gave a presentation and told us about how the book came about. Ms. Schanke graciously signed books for those in attendance! It was an interesting and wonderful afternoon!
Thank you, Ms. Schanke
