Bread for Words: A Frederick Douglass Story
by Shana Keller (Author) and Kayla Stark (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Frederick Douglass knew where he was born but not when. He knew his grandmother but not his father. And as a young child, there were other questions, such as Why am I a slave? Answers to those questions might have eluded him but Douglass did know for certain that learning to read and to write would be the first step in his quest for freedom and his fight for equality.
