The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl Part 1: We Friend-ship It!

Dear Diary, 

On to a new book, and boy, this one is different than the last! A Picture of Freedom: The Diary of Clotee, a Slave Girl was written by Patricia C. McKissack and was published in 1997. (a very good year!)

Clotee is a clever 12-year-old girl who works in the Big House on a plantation in Virginia and teaches herself how to read and write. She writes candidly about her opinions on slavery and those who participate in it and about her friends and loved ones. It's a good read! 

Yours Truly, 

Cate and Jen
