Kidnapped from her home in Africa and shipped to America, she’d had everything taken from her-her family, her name, and her language. But Phillis had a passion to learn. Amid the tumult of the Revolutionary War, Phillis Wheatley became a poet and ultimately had a book of verse published, establishing herself as the first African- American woman poet this country had ever known.\nBack matter includes an author’s note, an illustrator’s note, sources, and an index.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0763660914\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0763660914.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lee, Paul|Lasky, Kathryn\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
