sammygee 's review for:
Freedom in Congo Square
by Carole Boston Weatherford
Poetic text takes readers through the days of the week and the tasks that need to be done mirrored by a countdown to Sunday, a day of rest, spent in Congo Square.
A foreword, glossary, and author's note give readers the necessary background information to get the most out of this text.
Mixed media artwork is haunting and really helps reveal the emotions tied to the time spent in Congo Square as evidenced by the vibrant colors and the expressive body movement of the gatherers (i.e. arms extended, leaping legs as if dancing etc).
Highly recommended read aloud for 2-4+.
