Elizabeth Started All the Trouble by Doreen Rappaport
4.0
This book was just right for a 2nd-4th grader, clearly shared the narrative while keeping facts in line, and the illustrations were great and positively added to the story.
Friends, this is an important book.
Earlier this year while listening to coverage of the DNC, I teared up hearing a woman delegate from Arizona, who is older than her own right to vote, cast a her delegate votes for Hillary Clinton. When that woman was born, no one of her gender could legally vote in the United States, and she was able to publicly cast votes for the first woman chosen to run for president on a major political party ticket. I think it's too easy to take womens' right to vote for granted and to forget that this was a huge thing that had to be fought for, and if we don't share this story with our kids, we run the risk of stopping progress in its tracks.
