Synopsis: Told with lyrical poetry against gorgeous
illustrations, I Have Heard of a Land tells the story of the first black
Americans to settle in Oklahoma. With hope, hard-work, and determination, they
created a life of freedom and prosperity. The story focuses on a single female,
and her dreams of a place of her own.
Review: Excellent tale for kids - with both beauty and
adventure. The pictures are gorgeous and worth the book alone just for those.
