Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a wonderful and engaging children's book. I found myself reading it in the voice of eight-year-old Nashida. Author Meredith Coleman McGee makes reading history fun again.

NOTE BY A DESCENDANT OF MOSES "CAP" MEREDITH

This was a very informational children's book narrated by an eight-year-old fictional character. I have been in Mississippi all my life and didn't know all the history in this book. The Moses Meredith Cultural Arts Book Series will be an asset to teach children culture and history.

5.0 out of 5 stars An important book about history for kids--and adults
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2019
Children are our best hope for a better future and knowing American history is a vital foundation. Meredith McGee helped me with a profile of James Meredith based on her book and she has now taken the vital, educational, and even entertaining message of African American history in the South to another audience--not only kids, but their parents, who should be inspired to be involved in civics and politics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nashida taught me a lesson
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017
I personally met the author! I fell in love with her! I received a copy of her book. I really enjoyed this read!!! I really loved the character, Nashida! Also, I'm a huge history lover! So traveling with Nashida, I was about to learn more about the State Capitol of Mississippi. Reading this book, Nashida taught me how I need to get out more, learn more about history, and share it with others! Thanks, Ms. Meredith! Great job!!!
