Happy 150th Birthday |
||
When a boy named Isaac was born into slavery in 1861, no one could have predicted the life of wealth and fame that he would achieve - or his amazing strength of character. Perfect Timing is the story of Isaac's rise to fame as a brilliant jockey and his personal accomplishments as a man known for honesty and strong moral fiber. Thanks to amazing art created by Jerome Lagarrigue, Perfect Timing also is filled with action and color. In this year when Isaac would have celebrated his 150th birthday, Perfect Timing is, as one reviewer said, 'a winning combination of sports, biography, and African-American history.' |
