The Foot Warmer and the Crow
Set during the time of slavery, this powerful tale--told in the tradition of African-American folklore--centers on a slave named Hezekiah. When his attempt at escape fails, Hezekiah is befriended by a wise old crow who tells him what he must do in order to be free. The intriguing, moving text is highlighted by exceptional, bold full-color woodcut paintings.

EXCELLENT
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE VERY ENJOYABLE. IT TOUCHED MANY EMOTIONS WITHIN ME. I LAUGHED, I CRIED, I BECAME ANGRY, AND I BECAME ELATED. I WAS ESPECIALLY HAPPY WHEN HEZEKIAH WAS ABLE TO OUT WITT HIS MASTER. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANY YOUNG CHILD FOR THERE ARE MANY LESSONS TO BE GLEENED FROM THIS STORY. MS. COLEMAN HAS DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB IN SHARING AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY WITH CHILDREN OF ALL RACES. MY HAT IS OFF TO MS. COLEMAN. MAY SHE CONTINUE TO SHARE HER TALENT WITH US ALL.
