Dave the Potter is a biography by Laban Carrick Hill published in 2010. This is a Coretta Scott King Author Award Book. It is about a man named David Drake who was an enslaved potter in South Carolina. He sees the good in things that others don't like dirt and makes beautiful things from it. I think this would be a great book for any age.
