His journey led him to Quebec City, where he worked in the print shop of William Brown and Thomas Gilmore, co-founders of the Quebec Gazette. Renamed Joe, he became the pressman, the shop's most valued labourer. However, Joe's memories of freedom fueled his determination to escape the bonds of slavery. He successfully fled five times, enduring the harsh Quebec winters, which compelled his enslavers to publish fugitive slave ads in their attempts to recapture him. Joe's defiance highlights his intelligence and bravery, and it is through his struggles that we learn about his life. This book honours Joe's legendary spirit and educates young readers about the lesser-known histories of slavery in colder regions like the US North and Canada. Through Joe's inspiring story, readers gain insight into the past while being encouraged to confront injustice and embrace their own strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eStory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAuthor’s Note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCategory: Illustrated Children’s Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublication Date: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails: Softcover, 42 pages, recommended ages 7-12\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: 979-8-3188044-1-0 (hardcover)\u003cbr\u003e979-8-3188044-2-7 (paperback)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFigures: 23 colour, 5 black \u0026amp; white\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor: Charmaine A.
