Almost to Freedom by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson
4.0
I was searching for a children's books recommendation. after that I saw someone saying that this book is the best children's book and unfortunately most people haven't heard of it. So, without hesitation, I started reading it immediately!
Almost to freedom is a touching story told from a doll (Sally) point of view. Lindy's mother made sally for her daughter lindy. So, lindy kept sally with her at all times. She and her family are slaves in America. They dream and talk about freedom. We will follow their story in finding their new life. We will also see what will happen to sally eventually?
The story writing is so beautiful. However, it's a story not so easy to read. The narrative was so gripping. I enjoyed it more than I expected. The doll's perspective was so engaging. All the illustrations are beautiful oil painted. You can easily see the characters's expressions.
This book took me by surprise. it was such a heart-wrenching story :')<<3
