Book
The oldest student : how Mary Walker learned to read / written by Rita Lorraine Hubbard ; illustrated by Oge Mora.
"IN 1848, MARY WALKER WAS BORN INTO SLAVERY. At the age of 15, she was freed. At 20, she was married and had her first child. At 68, she was still working, and raising money for her church. At 114, she was the last remaining member of her family. And at 116, Mary Walker learned to read. Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Oge Mora partners with rising-star author Rita Lorraine Hubbard to tell the remarkable true story of the nation's oldest student, who -- with perseverance and dedication -- proved that you're never too old to learn." -- Provided by dustjacket.
