Josiah must confront his fears to develop a love of learning in this heartwarming story where family matters most, and trials can be overcome by hope and courage.
In her new children's book, The Josiah Henson Series: Josiah Learns to Read, author Treava introduces young readers to the incredible story of Josiah Henson, a real-life hero, author, abolitionist, and minister whose courage changed the course of history. Josiah had to learn from his family the importance of education, and with their love and support, he became a successful writer, leader, and advocate for the people who came after him. Children who hear his story will be inspired that they can, too.
As a passionate storyteller and longtime volunteer docent at the Josiah Henson Museum in Rockville, Maryland, Treava came to see the need to help make Henson's story accessible to children. The Josiah Henson Series: Josiah Learns to Read is the culmination of that work-and readers can stay tuned for more books on Josiah's life!
With approachable, engaging language, along with beautiful illustrations by artist Khallada Muhammad, this story weaves themes of hope, bravery, and the power of education, showing children that, with the support of their families and a strong heart, they can rise to any challenge. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or Black history enthusiast, this book is a critical addition to your child's library. Perfect for readers ages 7-12, Josiah's story is an uplifting tale that encourages young readers to believe in themselves and the things they can achieve.
