so-soThis picture book tells the inspiring story of Clara Lemlich, a young immigrant girl who became a leader in the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909, fighting for better working conditions and fair wages for garment workers.
This book can be used to discuss themes of labor rights, activism, and the role of women in history. Engage students in conversations about social justice and the importance of standing up for one's beliefs.
Thank you, @Daisey , for kindly sharing these 2 wonderful books through the #Book2Book swap! They were waiting in my held mail when I returned from vacation. I was delighted to find the letter from Wiley Cash and his sticky notes in The Last Ballad! What subscription box did it come from? I think I might want to subscribe. 😀
Also, thanks to @KateReadsYA for hosting such a fun event. 🎉
