Patricia C McKissack lived in Chesterfield and wrote books for children, some of them also informative for adults. Following are three from the shelves of our library:
Let My People Go, Bible Stories Told by a Freeman of Color - Charlotte Jefferies and her father Price, a former slave, introduce us to twelve best loved Bible tales from Genesis to Daniel. These stories were written for young people, but are also valuable for adults.
Run Away Home and be Free is a story written for older elementary and middle school youth. It is based on very real events and much research. Occurring in the late 1880s it tells the story of a young Indian boy who escaped from a train shipping his people from Florida to Oklahoma territory,and is rescued by a black family of former slaves.
When Do You Talk to God? Prayers for Small Children invites young children to talk to God, to pray, at all sorts of times and in all kinds of situations.
These books can normally be found in either the Adult or Children’s Libraries. For this month, they are available on the bookshelf outside the Adult Library.
