Phillis Wheatley was the first Black woman-poet in America, with her book of verses published in 1774. Kidnapped and sold as a slave in Boston, her bright mental agility quickly became apparent. Her mistress had her educated, and as a teenager, Phillis began publishing poems to ever-increasing fame. Freed after a return trip from England, Phillis continued to write until her death, forever leaving a mark upon American literature. Here is a poignant retelling of defining moments in the life of Phillis Wheatley, paired with beautiful full-color illustrations that enhance the narrative and encourage thoughtful discussion. 38 pages, softcover. Ages 8-12.
