Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 by Michelle Markel, Melissa Sweet

5.0

Oh good, this book was actually really cute and creative. While the artist is basic at drawing humans, Melissa Sweet captures the eye with bright colors and a mixed media of water colors, fabric swatches with patterns, and photocopied objects colored in with watercolor. She also makes great use of sewed cloth and fabrics for borders and text areas, making even the text part of the book a work of art. This one might be my pick for the Mock Caldecotts!
