Dennis B. Fradin té 2 esdeveniments ja passats. (show)  Judith Fradin - STOLEN INTO SLAVERY Come meet Judith Fradin, the award-winning author of more than 50 children's and young adult non-fiction books. Among these are Witness to Disaster titles for National Geographic Children's Books: Hurricanes, Volcanoes, Tsunamis, Droughts, Earthquakes, and Tornadoes. Here most recent book, Stolen into Slavery: The True Story of Solomon Northup, Free Black Man recently won the Carter G. Woodson Award for the best multicultural book of the year. Many area students have already read this for summer reading and/or classes! Come ask the author questions! The true story behind the acclaimed movie Twelve Years a Slave, this book is based on the life of Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York who was captured in the United States and sold into slavery in Louisiana. Solomon Northup awoke in the middle of the night with his body trembling. Slowly, he realized that he was handcuffed in a dark room and his feet were chained to the floor. He managed to slip his hand into his pocket to look for his free papers that proved he was one of 400,000 free blacks in a nation where 2.5 million other African Americans were slaves. They were gone. This remarkable story follows Northup through his 12 years of bondage as a man kidnapped into slavery, enduring the hardships of slave life in Louisiana. But the tale also has a remarkable ending. Northup is rescued from his master's cotton plantation in the deep South by friends in New York. This is a compelling tale that looks into a little known slice of history, sure to rivet young readers and adults alike. Judy Fradin and her late husband Dennis have published over 150 books for children, nearly all of them nonfiction. They are the recipients of many awards, including the SCBWI Golden Kite Honor book Award for The Power of One: Daisy Bates and the Little Rock Nine. In 2005 they published 5,000 Miles to Freedom with The National Geographic Society. It was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults among many other honors. Judith Fradin is a professor of children's literature and multicultural literature at National Louis University in Chicago.
