Editorial Reviews

This is a wonderful and engaging children's book. I found myself reading it in the voice of eight-year-old Nashida. Author Meredith Coleman McGee makes reading history fun again.

NOTE BY A DESCENDANT OF MOSES "CAP" MEREDITH

This was a very informational children's book narrated by an eight-year-old fictional character. I have been in Mississippi all my life and didn't know all the history in this book. The Moses Meredith Cultural Arts Book Series will be an asset to teach children culture and history.
