I Am a Promise [Hardcover]

This book, which offers material for the youngest readers and extends coverage of Jamaican track athletes beyond Usain Bolt, is a welcome addition to the sports biography bookshelf. A choice pick for school and public library childrens collections, highly recommended. Writing with Rousseau, Pryce offers a text thats accessible to new readers, repetition both underscoring her tirelessness and supporting decoding. Firmly outlined in black and opaquely colored, Moss images complement this moving story while highlighting both Pryces determination and the spirit of Jamaica, especially the support of a loving community (all depicted as black, like Pryce) . . . A solid addition to the early biography shelf.
