Henry's Freedom Box - Book Review

Wonderfully written and well illustrated. This is a true story about Henry Brown, a slave who mailed himself in a wooden crate to a "place where there are no slaves" (Pennsylvania).
This is a good book to teach kids about black history. It opened up discussions with the kids about compassion and bravery.
My 6 year-old son said: I was scared for him. It almost made me cry when his children were sold as slaves but I am still happy because he found his freedom in the end.
