No Mr. West, it was not a choice New children’s chapter book disputes the notion that 400 years of slavery was a result of “mental imprisonment” Cleveland, OH, —.In the words of the great Stan Lee, “With great power, comes great responsibility.” When icons make erroneous statements, often they do so with out recognizing the long reaching effects their thoughtless statements may have. When Kanye West made his very controversial statements regarding slavery, describing it as a choice, an entire generation of young minds were watching and absorbing as inaccurate picture of history was painted for them and presented as fact. Author Michelle Person, former teacher, elementary school principal, and founder of Just Like Me Books (JLM) could not stand by and allow that fallacy to linger unchecked. Committed to promoting a love of reading and increasing literacy rates among high risk readers through an interactive platform that prominently features characters of color, JLM’s newest release Leaders of the Revolution tells the story of Toussaint L’Ouverture and the first successful slave uprising in the western world. The third book in the Nathaniel English series, aimed at children ages 6-11, follows 5th grade Nathaniel as he searches for solutions to his present day problems by learning about important historical figures of the past. Thanks to his mother’s extensive at home library, Nathaniel is exposed to information that his teachers don’t share, helping him to develop a strong sense of self and determine his place in this world. Inspired by the actions of Toussaint, Nathaniel and his friends fight to make their voices heard on the timeless and ever important issue of school lunch. Leaders of the Revolution tells the story of the Haitian Revolution and the importance of standing up for what you believe in!“Michelle has her own unique voice and writing style that makes it feel fresh and exciting that children will easily relate to.” -Goodreads Readers looking to laugh, learn, and diversify their libraries will find a lot to love here.
