Young Frederick Douglass
Realizing that the ability to read and write could be a step to freedom, young Frederick requested that his mistress, Sophia Auld, teach him to read along with her own five-year-old son, and she did until she learned that it was illegal to teach a slave to read.
Bread for Words
Frederick Douglass knew where he was born but not when. He knew his grandmother but not his father. And as a young child, there were other questions, such as Why am I a slave? Answers to those questions might have eluded him but Douglass did know for certain that learning to read and to write would be the first step in his quest for freedom and his fight for equality. Told from first-person perspective, this picture-book biography draws from the real-life experiences of a young Frederick Douglass and his attempts to learn how to read and write. Author Shana Keller (Ticktock Banneker's Clock) personalizes the text for young readers, using some of Douglass's own words. The lyrical title comes from how Douglass "paid" other children to teach him.
