    This book is appropriate for children of any age but since I am not a parent I would probably have a different opinion then most grownups. My teacher read me the story at school and I think it is a very good informational story for children and I think that any aged children would be very interested in the story if they were interested in things like Black history month and all that stuff. I would like to thank the creators of this book for making this book because it is a very interesting book and I don’t understand why someone would not want to read it. Again thank you very much for the creators of this book to make this book . I recommend this book to anyone that thinks it’s interesting. If it’s not interesting to you then that’s definitely way out of my opinion.
