Brick by Brick
Autor Charles R Smith Ilustrat de Floyd Cooperen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 ian 2015 – vârsta până la 8 ani
The home of the United States president was built by many hands, including those of slaves, who undertook this amazing achievement long before there were machines to do those same jobs.
Stirring and emotional, Floyd Cooper's stunning illustrations bring to life the faces of those who endured hard, brutal work when the profit of their labor was paid to the master, not the slave. The fact that many were able to purchase their freedom after earning money from learning a trade speaks to the strength of those individuals. They created this iconic emblem of America, brick by brick.

needs a new home,
so many hands work
together as one.
Black hands,
white hands,
free hands,
slave hands.
In this powerful story of the building of the White House, Coretta Scott King Award winners Charles R. Smith Jr. and Floyd Cooper capture the emotion and toil that created this incredible structure, the home of our president.
