I had no idea that slave labor was utilized in the making and building of the white house. It's so interesting to read about how much slaves contributed to our nations capitol. I didn't really care for the poetry element, but I did like how the author focused on using the term "hand" in two different ways. One way being the physical body part and the other focusing on another name for those contributing to the labor needed to complete the project.

Loved the poetic nature of the story as well as the illustrations!
An extra special touch was the names along with the Author's Note.
