Few Americans have had as much impact on this nation as Frederick Douglass. Born on a plantation, he later escaped slavery and helped others to freedom via the Underground Railroad. In time he became a bestselling author, an outspoken newspaper editor, a brilliant orator, a tireless abolitionist, and a brave civil rights leader. He was famous on both sides of the Atlantic in the years leading up to the Civil War, and when war broke out, Abraham Lincoln invited him to the White House for counsel and advice.

            Frederick Douglass for Kids follows the footsteps of a true hero, one of the leading African Americans of his day. And to better appreciate Douglass and his times, readers will:

·        form a debating club

·        create asailor’s tarpaulin hat and cravat that Douglass wore during his escape

·        make a Civil War haversack

·        participate in a microlending program

and more

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thoughtful and well-researched . . . a thorough and involving examination of a great man, equally suited to individual immersion and classroom collaboration."  —Booklist


"Classrooms are closed for the summer but teachers take note: this is an excellent educational tool for next year that will fit right into your curriculums and won’t put students to sleep."  —"Letter Blocks" Barnes & Noble parenting and educators blog

"Written for children ages nine and up to easily read and understand, Frederick Douglass is both well-researched and succinct all at once."  —The Pioneer Woman  

"In the hands of educators, this book will be a valuable tool on the life and times of a great orator. However, it is written at a fairly high level, so the title slightly misrepresents the book’s intended audience. For elementary grade children needing sources for a report, this would not be the title of choice; far too much reading is required to draw out the facts relevant for that purpose. Those interested in the subject, however, will appreciate the insightful look at this remarkable individual."  —School Library Journal 


"The 21 activities in the book, such as forming a debate club, taking action in the current world slave market and making a carpet bag, are among the best I’ve seen in any of the Chicago Review Press books I’ve read...Frederick Douglas for Kids: The Life and Times with 21 Activities is an invaluable resource and a spectacular book that should be read by every American child (and parent too)."  —Good Reads with Ronna

This book is the most complete work on Frederick Douglass for children that I have ever seen. The author has taken great pains to include authentic research in a way that children can really digest in a fun way. Mrs. Sanders has a creative style that takes history and makes it come alive. I highly recommend this book. As an elementary teacher looking for ways to take history off the pages and plant it in hearts, I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase.

Nancy I. Sanders not only brings little known facts and images of Frederick Douglass' life to the surface, she brings his heart and soul to it as well. The essence of who this brave, intelligent man was, down deep in his soul, springs from the pages as she retraces his journey out of oppression and into impassioned pursuit of freedom for his fellow man.

I teach gifted kids, and a group were doing a project on slavery. One girl borrowed this book and said it was the best one she had ever read. I am going to get the rest of this series because this one was so factual and interesting.
