My Name Is James Madison Hemings by Jonah Winter

4.0

This is the story of James Madison Hemings, son of Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson. It's a quiet reflection on his life and his father. He acknowledges that his father did many great things, but he also owned enslaved people and did not free them upon his death (other than the children of Sally Hemings, but not Hemings herself). I think this is a fitting way to introduce complication into the Jefferson narrative for young and old.
