Eleanor, Quiet No More
Eleanor, Quiet No More | Doreen Rappaport
24 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
Eleanor Roosevelt was raised in a privileged but stern Victorian household, with an affectionate but mostly absent father and a critical mother who made fun of her daughter's looks. Alone and lonely for much of her childhood, Eleanor found solace in books and in the life of her lively and independent mind. Her intellectual gifts and compassionate heart won her the admiration of many friends -- and the love of her future husband, Franklin Delano Roosevelt./DIV DIVWhile other young women of her class were spending time at dances and parties, Eleanor devoted her energies to teaching children in New York City's poorest neighborhoods. Later, she became the most socially and politically active -- and controversial -- First Lady America had ever seen. Ambassador, activist, and champion of civil rights, Eleanor Roosevelt changed the soul of America forever. In her eloquent prose, Doreen Rappaport captures the essence of Eleanors character and the deep significance of her legacy. With beautiful paintings by Gary Kelley and selections from Eleanor's own writings, Eleanors Big Words is an extraordinary tribute to an extraordinary American.

I would use this book in my classroom to help my students better understand history through the lens of Eleanor Roosevelt's life. Hopefully my students can somehow connect and/ or learn how to use their voice to be heard.

Eleanor, Quiet No More written by Doreen Rappaport. This book followed the life of Eleanor Roosevelt, starting off sad and lonely but ended with her using her power and courageous heart and voice. This book will educate and help my students understand the past by learning women's rights and the evolution of how women's voices have been viewed throughout the years.

Eleanor, Quiet No More | Doreen Rappaport

A great book about a first lady breaking social norms- being involved, an ambassador, and a civil rights activist. At this time, women were not supposed to intervene like she did and it shows her courage and how she fought sexism. She changed the course of the position of the first lady forever. Great for children to learn about overcoming challenges like sexism using direct quotes and great illustrations.

This book is also by Donna Rappaport, and it is clear that she has a distinct style of writing. She once again incorporates real-life quotes into the writing, and captures the legacy of Eleanor Roosevelt. This biography illustrates the positive and impactful actions Eleanor took to help teach children in low income areas. She was an advocate for civil rights and this is a great person for young kids to learn about.

This is a biography about the incredible life of Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a quiet girl, born into a life of privilege but not of love. As a teenager one of her teachers encouraged her to use her voice proudly. As the First Lady, she was often criticized for her beliefs. However she still spoke up to change things that needed changing and help those that needed helping.
