sammygee 's review for:
Under the Freedom Tree
by Susan VanHecke
A historical tale told in verse about three men who escaped a Confederate camp and were taken as contrabands of war when they crossed the Union line. The Emancipation Proclamation is passed not long after and the men celebrate with a crowd beneath a live oak tree that still stands today.
Acrylic, pastel, and colored pencil illustrations suit the tone of this text and portray the Emancipation Oak in all its maginificent splendor.
A two page author's note follows the story and a bibliography rounds out the back matter.
Recommended for classroom use in grades 5-8.
