The House That Jane Built: A Story about Jane Addams by Tanya Lee Stone
4.0
I really admire Jane Addams. For a semester in college (in-between majoring in English literature and psychology) I took classes in sociology and studied her in depth. I either learned more from this book, or more likely relearned some of what I learned back then. She was a remarkable woman.
This is an excellent picture book, the picture book portion book fine as a read aloud picture book for 4 to 8 year olds, and the last portion, with photos and much more text, appropriate for independent readers (and also reading aloud) for 8 to 12 year olds.
I enjoyed the illustrations. They really enhanced the text, and I love the style and use of color, and for me the photographs added even more to the account.
This book gives just right amount of information in each section, and left me wanting to read more.
I recommend this book particularly for 8 to 11 year olds, especially those interested in social justice, history, women’s rights, strong women, and anyone who enjoys reading about how one person/a small group of people can make a big difference.
