Goodread Review:
There are few picture books written about the Civil War, and none are as powerful as this one. This story, about how a young black soldier rescues a white soldier, opens young readers' eyes to the injustices of slavery and the senselessness of war. Highly charged emotionally, this masterful retelling of a true story is seen through the white soldier's eyes.

A good introduction to a complex and terrible subject. I agree with Sara Masarik who said that picture books are a good way to begin a difficult topic.
Heartbreaking and beautiful- this civil war story will stay with you.
