"The go-to Frederick Douglass biography for younger students” (Booklist; starred review).
In this powerful picture book biography, New York Times bestselling author Walter Dean Myers and acclaimed artist Floyd Cooper take readers on an inspiring journey through the life of Frederick Douglass.

This picture book biography draws on Frederick Douglass’s autobiographies and includes a timeline, making it an excellent source for reports.
