Definitely reading this to my students. You can never over-teach the struggle for equal rights.

Another picture book history, disguised as a biography. Really a history of the process of women getting the vote in the United States. A bit too wordy and surface. But interesting and detailed. A bit too large a scope, just about any of the figures in there could have been a subject for a biography.

Spectacular art, good stories. Minus one star only because once again the role of African American suffragists (except for Sojourner Truth) is barely mentioned.

Good introduction to the women suffrage movement and the right for women to vote.

Great picture book introduction to the American Suffragette movement! I would say this is geared towards school age children (6 years and up) so I will have to revisit when my 4 year old gets a little older.

4.5 stars. Beautifully illustrated, stuffed with history well connected to today. A bit slow as a read aloud, but good for the 6 and up crowd.

A snapshot of the suffrage movement for young readers. Good job on the story. Not a fan of the art. Faulkner also did the art for Shamir's "What's the big deal about elections". Just sort of caricaturistic, which I think takes away from the gravity of the story.

Jam-packed with information about a subject most kids probably don't know much about, this would make a good read aloud for upper elementary and middle school students who have longer attention spans.
