My Review: 5 stars
This is anย ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป,ย ๐๐ฒ๐น๐น ๐ถ๐น๐น๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ, with great language that tells firsthand the cruelty of an Atlantic Majesty who stole him from Africa by slavers at the age of nineteen and he never saw his beloved Africa again. Historical and poignant of aย ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐จ๐ฆ ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐. A novel that should be in every school and have lessons dedicated to. And perfect release to pay homage to Black History Month.
Cudjo tells Hurston who noted all the details of what he saw and experienced from the start (to explain the journey) to the tragedies that befell his family.ย
I love the illustrations and how the dialogue is true to Cudjoโs voice. I feel like I can hear him speak.ย
The book is appropriate for children and the incidents and horrors are well represented but told educationally.ย
A treasure to keep and also share.ย
