Do not be fooled, this is not a picture book. This is a nonfiction biography that is heavily illustrated. This is about Mary Seacole, a type of nurse who believes in the home remedy, and healing the way her mother did it. She was born and raised in Jamaica and was of creole descent. This meant she was not white and was treated as such throughout her life. She was turned away many times for wanting to help people, all because of the color of their skin. This includes Florence Nightingale, who thought of Mary as unclean, unsure, and of lesser education. While some people sided with Florence, men who were treated by her in the battlefield, did not. To them she was a hero, who deserves just as much fanfare as Nightingale gets. I full heartedly, agree and hope more children pick up this story and learn about another fantastic woman making waves for future women everywhere. (

Mary Seacole: Bound for the Battlefield is a fantastic illustrated biography!

For one, the illustrations are gorgeous. The colours in combination with the illustration style really makes the book stand out. It pulled me in with the cover and kept me hooked throughout the story. However the illustrator is, give them a raise! It's amazing!

This book is a very short chapter book all about Mary Seacole. Her background, biography and amazing feats are described that middle graders and adults alike will enjoy. I highly recommend picking up this book to learn a little bit about history. It's well worth the read and will surely teach you something. I also highly recommend educators use this book because it is an education marvel.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. (
