Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
What can I say after reading this beautiful book is that it hurts, it really hurts to read about such an injustice, unhuman behavior and the ugliness of racism.
I can't say that I liked the story because it's not about this when it comes to such books, no. This book is a reminder for those who forgot what was it like to live in such a world where you see awful things done to people and you can't do nothing and when you try to make a change like Prudence Crandall, you might end up being marginalized, attacked or hurt.
Anyway, the illustrations were beautiful to look at and it made the story less dramatic to read. A different and interesting way to portray such difficult themes with colors and art.
I have to say that I didn't like the title, I think that wasn't the best choice for the content of this book.
