	"All men are born free and equal." 






Everybody knows about the Founding Fathers and the Declaration of Independence in 1776. But the founders weren't the only ones who believed that everyone had a right to freedom. Mumbet, a Massachusetts enslaved person, believed it too. She longed to be free, but how? Would anyone help her in her fight for freedom? Could she win against the richest man in town? 





Mumbet was determined to try. 





Mumbet's Declaration of Independence tells her story for the first time in a picture book biography, and her brave actions set a milestone on the road toward ending slavery in the United States.

	"The case is fascinating, emphasizing the destructive irony at the heart of the birth of America and making Mumbet an active and savvy architect of her own release, and this is likely to spur much discussion." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

 
	"Delinois's thick layers of paint and vibrant palette infuse even the story's upsetting moments with hopefulness, and Mumbet herself glows with determination and integrity." -starred, Publishers Weekly 
	"This book opens many avenues for discussion, including history, civil rights, the power and interpretation of the law, and imagery and artistry as conveyed by the rich drawings and Mumbet's observations of freedom." -Library Media Connection 
	"Delinois' minimalist but highly evocative acrylic illustrations add depth to the sensitive, inspiring text. A great addition to picture-book collections of American history." -Booklist 
	"The case is fascinating, emphasizing the destructive irony at the heart of the birth of America and making Mumbet an active and savvy architect of her own release, and this is likely to spur much discussion." -The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books 
	"Woelfle keeps the spotlight on Mumbet and brings her to life as a strong, smart person. Using a vibrant acrylic palette, Delinois highlights the brilliant greens and blues of the Berkshires setting and allows the light to play on Mumbet's face to show both her humor and strength. . . . Though many have not heard the story of Mumbet before, no one who reads it now will ever forget it." -The Horn Book Magazine 
	"Alix Delinois's illustrations beautifully balance the intensity of this history lesson. . . . Woelfle's narrative and her appended notes and references offer opportunities for discussing nuances in the history of American slavery." -The New York Times Book Review 
	"Vividly colored illustrations reflect the generally hopeful tone of the story, while bold compositions and thickly layered paint suggest folk art. Freeman's strength of character is reflected in her determined facial expressions and strong stance." -School Library Journal 
	"Delinois' full-bleed paintings are heroic in scale, richly textured and vibrant....A life devoted to freedom and dignity, worthy of praise and remembrance." -Kirkus Reviews
