Leah Schanke Posted December 9, 2024 Report Posted December 9, 2024 Hello AALBC, I would like to introduce my debut picture book and to request a review. The digital ARC is available through Edelweiss. Thank you for this opportunity to share my work and for your consideration for a review. Title: Freedom at Dawn: Robert Smalls's Voyage Out of Slavery Age: 4-8 years Author: Leah Schanke Illustrator: Oboh Moses Publisher: Albert Whitman & Co. ISBN-13: 9780807524282 Publication Date: April 10, 2025 Synopsis: The true story of one man's brave plan to free his family from slavery. Lizzy Smalls is proud of her papa, Robert, for being the best boat pilot in Charleston Harbor. But the Smalls family is enslaved, and after the outbreak of the Civil War, Robert is forced to put his skills to work for the Confederates. He knows that reaching Union territory means freedom for his family; to get there, he devises a daring plan to steal a boat and sail out of the harbor under cover of night. This thrilling true story shows how one man's courage, careful planning, and calm under pressure helped him navigate the way to a new life. 1
