The inspiring story of the Black explorer who made the first successful expedition to the North Pole. Matthew Henson was not meant to lead an ordinary life-his dreams had sails.

Told in poetic first-person narration by award-winning author Carole Boston Weatherford with art from award-winning illustrator Eric Velasquez, I, Matthew Henson: Polar Explorer is the thrilling story of a hidden figure from American history.
