"Matthew Henson" by Coretta Scott King tells the inspiring true story of an African American explorer who played a crucial role in the race to the North Pole. Henson, often overlooked in history, accompanied Admiral Robert Peary on multiple expeditions, demonstrating remarkable courage and resilience in the face of harsh Arctic conditions. The narrative highlights his exceptional skills and contributions, emphasizing themes of perseverance, teamwork, and breaking racial barriers. King’s poignant storytelling, complemented by vivid illustrations, captures Henson's journey and legacy, encouraging readers to recognize and celebrate the achievements of those who have often been marginalized in history.
