Moriarty DetailsDetails Arriving in Boston aboard a slave ship in 1761, Phillis Wheatley began what would eventually be a storied life in American. Primary sources and a thrilling narrative present the story of America's first African American female poet. Easy-to-read text highlights how Wheatley learned to speak English and to read and write. She even learned to read Latin. Soon she was writing poetry, but no one in Boston would publish her book because she was a slave. She had to look to London and found a company who published her book and put her photograph on the cover. Although Wheatley died young at age of thirty-one, her words live on and will inspire your readers.Publication Date: 07/15/2019Copyright: 2020Pages: 32Trim Size: 7 1/8 x 8 1/2Illustrations: Grade Level: 3–6Age Level: 8–11Dewey: 811/.1--dc23FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9781978511286$26.27$19.70Paperback Book9781978511262$11.53$9.80eBook9781978511293$26.27$19.70 Loading… Other books in Introducing Famous Americans 1 Loading… Other books from the authors 12345 Loading… eBook: 9781978511293 List Price: $26.27 Discount Price: $19.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9781978511286 List Price: $26.27 Discount Price: $19.70 + Add to wish list Paperback Book: 9781978511262 List Price: $11.53 Discount Price: $9.80 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
