Axworthy and Cooke bring to that emerging, young reader an accessible and engaging little tale of Mary Seacole. With large fonts and mostly-simple language, Cooke captures Seacole's life in 31 colourful pages. Each page has only one or two sentences yet both illustrator and writer manage to pack in a lot. I liked how Cooke connected the soldiers in Jamaica to those who eventually are moved to Crimea. Also, Nightingale's relationship (or lack of) is cleverly done here - mentioned, hinted but not explored.
