Correta Scott King Award Winner


Thunder Rose by Jerdine Nolen


This is a 2004 Corretta Scott King award winner. It is a tall tale with the main character Rose who was born with extraordinary strength. The story takes place outwest, where she lives on a farm and faces many challenges. The author uses colorful vocabulary to describe objects and events in the story. Very similar to Pecoes Bill.
