Summary

"A Child's Anti-Slavery Book" by Various is a collection of stories and pictures designed to teach kids about the terrible experiences of enslaved people in America, with a special focus on children. The book wants to teach a lesson, using stories and morals to create feelings of sympathy and encourage the idea of freedom and human rights, which was a big part of the fight to end slavery back then. The book starts by telling readers about how unfair slavery is and how important it is to stand against it. It begins with a sad description of enslaved children, showing how they don't have the same freedoms as other kids. Then, the book shares different stories, starting with "Little Lewis," a young boy who really wants to learn to read, even though he lives in a place where he is not allowed to. The author shows us how Lewis struggles, like when other kids are mean to him and when his family is split apart because of slavery. This makes readers feel sorry for Lewis and helps them understand the bigger story of slavery, encouraging them to see how unfair it is and to stand up against it.
