Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-18 00:00:00 Jose Torres This is the story of Minna, an African girl who is captured by a rogue African and sold into slavery. Her life is difficult and harsh, and made even worse when her husband, whom she has known since she before she was sold to her owner, is sold away. Three of her four children all are scattered as well, one being sold away, one going to Florida to live with Seminoles, one escaping to the North, and only the youngest staying at the same Plantation. The illustrations by the author eloquently portray the sorrow of the bewildered captives, and the patient determination of the slaves. This story is fiction, but it has the ring of historical verisimilitude. Pair with "Seminole Diary: Remembrances of a Slave" also by Dolores Johnson.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-05-06 00:00:00 Jessica Foucault Now Let Me Fly The Story of a Slave Family is a book I would read to celebrate Black History Month. It is a powerful yet heartbreaking story about a family who is brought to America as slaves in 1815 to work on a plantation. The text lets the reader experience what it was like to be in slavery. Now Let Me Fly The Story of a Slave Family would be for 4th grade through 6th grade.
