Victory. Stand!

I only knew the barest outlines of this story, so I was glad that I got the opportunity to learn more. Anyabwile's artwork is well suited to the storytelling -- the drawings have a wonderful sense of motion and speed. It took me back to some of the earliest history reading that I did as a kid: I would go to the public library and devour all the biographies I could get my hands on. It was a great entrée into history at the time, and I can easily see a younger version of me having loved this book too. Glad I got the chance to read it!
