A review by kraley
Bread and Roses, Too by Katherine Paterson

5.0

This gets five stars as a teacher book. It takes the reader into the Lawrence strike from the perspective of two children. It is a wonderful vehicle for teaching that part of American history. I would recommend this book for fifth grade and up. Lots of rich vocabulary and ideas, lots of discussions on the different immigrant cultures and the workers versus the mill owners. Great book too.
