The House That Jane Built: A Story about Jane Addams by Tanya Lee Stone
4.0
My 6 year old and I both learned a lot about Jane Addams, the first woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize (in 1931), a founding member of both the NAACP and the ACLU, and most notably for my 6 year old, the first person to build a public playground in the city of Chicago. This picture book focuses on her philanthropy and community activism as the founder of Hull House, a community-based "settlement house" for the poor in Chicago, through which she transformed a community for decades.
The text was engaging but we weren't huge fans of the illustrations. The back matter was excellent, inspiring my son to want to read and learn more about Jane Addams. We enjoyed the photographs at the end as well.
