I Wish For Freedom by Monique Lorden is a 36 page poetic picture book that takes both children and adults on an amazing adventure of affirming freedom, love, hope, and equality. New Orleans born and raised, Monique Lorden understands the power of poetry and storytelling. She weaves ancestral rhetoric and proclamations of freedom and revolution into rhyme, verse, and runs. Mother of two and stranger to none, Monique's poetry feels like kinship. It is a gentle reminder from a family friend that we have overcame and we shall overcome. Copyrighted 2020 by Author.
