Understandably an award winner!
This is an excellent historical non-fiction biography book for every child to read, but especially so to show little girls what a brave girl can make in a difference in the world and every one's lives. Clara Lemlich is one such example and reading through the fabulously illustrated pages of this picture book a reader can be impressed an proud of history and the changes we can make. The pictures are great, made up of water color as well as cut and paste and even sewing stitches on some pages gives it interest and texture that make one want to just really look and take it all in. In my humble opinion, it brings the idea of being a garment worker even more to life. This one is a winner and I will definitely want to get a real copy for our shelves.
