Overview
This vibrant and compelling picture book biography tells the story of Toussaint Louverture, the Haitian hero who led his people to freedom.
Ayiti, the Pearl of the Antilles, was once a pristine paradise. But in the 15th century, colonizers seized the island, dividing it in two and forcing enslaved Africans to labor in its sugarcane fields. For generations, the enslaved endured unimaginable suffering, all the while yearning for freedom.
In 1743, a beacon of hope was born: Toussaint Louverture. Through extraordinary determination and resilience, Toussaint gained freedom for himself. And in 1791, when the call for revolution echoed across Haiti, he rose to lead. Forming international alliances, rallying his community, and working alongside Haitian generals, Toussaint led the charge for liberty—achieving the first and only successful slave revolution in history and inspiring change across the world.
