"In Limbo, From African Slave to Honored Grave, Robin TaylorChiarello's poetry combines with the artistry of Steven Lester to create a book that elegantly illustrates one man's journey from slave to freed man. Sharing the horrors of slavery through this man's story lends grace to a book which focuses on the importance of individual and group human interactions on society, and on the value of all human life. This book portrays the tragedy of this period in American history in a downtoearth manner which makes it easier for children from third grade up to consume, though not sugarcoated. The combination of shorttext and realistic paintings provide an excellent resource for teaching about slavery to a variety of students in a crosscurricular setting, making it an ideal resource for differentiating instruction of complex social studies concepts surrounding slavery in the U.S., especially for students who struggle to read longer texts."
